Sergei Sobyanin opened the scientific and academic building No. 10 of the Moscow Multidisciplinary Scientific and Clinical Center (MMNCC) named after S.P. Botkin after reconstruction.
“I would like to congratulate you on the completion of a major reconstruction or revival of the Botkin Hospital. In recent years, 16 buildings have been repaired and reconstructed, and a flagship center has been built. And the Botkin Hospital has received a worthy – worthy of the team and traditions of the Botkin Hospital – material base, thousands of units of new modern equipment. And, of course, medical care provided to both Muscovites and patients from other regions has reached a new quality level. Today, we are completing this reconstruction, comprehensive improvement. We are completing the reconstruction with this wonderful scientific and educational building, which will concentrate dozens of medical departments of the leading medical universities of our country, which will allow doctors to continue their education, and engage in science, and interact with leading professors, doctors of our country and, of course, Botkin Hospital. So I congratulate you on this major stage, on a new stage in the life of Botkin,” said Sergei Sobyanin.
A robotic school has been created at the S.P. Botkin MMNCC, where specialists can learn to work with modern surgical robots. Today, the clinic has six latest-generation Da Vinci robotic surgical systems, which allows performing 20 operations daily.
“The Botkin Robotic Center is one of the top ten European centers in terms of volume and range. Where there are six or more machines, and the number, as we do per year, is more than three thousand robotic interventions in urology, oncology, and gynecology. And this, of course, is a very promising direction,” noted the director of the S.P. Botkin MMNCC, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexey Shabunin.
Leading researcher at the S.P. Botkin Moscow Medical Scientific and Clinical Center Igor Andreytsev clarified that not only young specialists but also experienced surgeons from Moscow and other regions of Russia will be able to study at the robotic school.
“Historically, we operated first on the urological sphere – this is prostatectomy, this is kidneys. But at present, this is major oncological surgery. We are leaders in robotic surgery of the stomach, pancreas, colorectal surgery, and so on,” said Igor Andreytsev, leading researcher at the S.P. Botkin MMNC.
Updated case
The two-story building No. 10 with a basement and attic was built in 1909. In later years, the building was rebuilt several times. The total area of the building is 6.87 thousand square meters. Before the reconstruction, it housed the surgical, nephrology, resuscitation and thoracic surgery departments, which were transferred to the renovated buildings No. 11 and 22.
The comprehensive reconstruction of building No. 10 began in March 2023. The building is a cultural heritage site, so both repair and restoration work were carried out in it.
During the reconstruction, the building’s interfloor ceilings were replaced, the roof truss system was updated, new insulation of the attic spaces was installed, and a roof covering of 4.2 thousand square meters was installed. The electrical and water supply networks, heating, sewerage, air conditioning and ventilation systems were completely replaced.
Three elevators were also installed in the building. The selected models of domestically produced elevators fully meet modern requirements for reliability and comfort, as well as the specifics of the medical institution.
The interior finishing works were carried out using modern safe materials. At the same time, the features of the premises for various types of educational work were taken into account: lectures, broadcasts from operating rooms, master classes, seminars and scientific conferences.
The facade of the building, which is included in the subject of protection of the cultural heritage site, was restored (its area is 6.2 thousand square meters). The finishing was done in a way typical for the first half of the 20th century – painting on plaster and brick. The bay windows, brick decor of the facade surfaces, and the attic of the main entrance were preserved.
Windows and doors are also part of the historical appearance of the building, so their original dimensions, shape and color were preserved during the replacement. Hardwood was used as the material.
The staircase from the early 20th century was restored and repaired. The figured metal railings of the stairways were fully preserved. Specialists also restored the covering of the platforms and corridors from Mettlach tiles.
The Monier vaults, semicircular arched vaults supported by iron beams, found in the basement and on the first floor, were also preserved. They were plastered and painted.
The memorial chamber of Vladimir Lenin (where the founder of the Soviet state was treated after the assassination attempt in 1918) has been restored. Its walls have been repaired using a special method for restoring paint layers. Defects in the historical parquet (scratches, abrasions, differences and unevenness of the coating, creaking and loosening) have been eliminated by sanding.
The renovated building No. 10 houses a scientific and educational cluster — 28 departments of Moscow medical universities. Among them are the First Moscow State Medical University (MSMU) named after I.M. Sechenov, the Russian University of Medicine, the Russian Medical Academy of Continuous Professional Education (RMANPO), the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN) named after Patrice Lumumba, the Russian National Research Medical University (RNRMU) named after N.I. Pirogov, and the Moscow Regional Research Clinical Institute (MONIKI) named after M.F. Vladimirsky. In addition, the building will house a training center and a scientific and clinical department of the Botkin Medical Research Center.
“Several dozen departments of medical universities, previously scattered throughout the hospital, have received their own home, where there are all the conditions for training students and residents and conducting scientific research. The training center and scientific and clinical department of the S.P. Botkin MMNCC will also begin working here. A full cycle of scientific and practical activities will be organized: from formulating a problem based on one’s own experience and conducting research to implementing the results in clinical practice and then transferring the experience to colleagues,” Sergei Sobyanin wrote in

The building contains 72 offices and auditoriums for professors and teachers, as well as 10 conference rooms.
Lecture halls and auditoriums are equipped with modern media systems with the ability to broadcast online from the operating rooms of the MMNCC. Thanks to this, students have the technical ability to “be present” at the operation and be in direct contact with the surgeon who performs it.
The building is equipped with modern technology for holding conferences, online broadcasts, clinical analyses and other educational and scientific events. These include computers, telecommunications equipment, switches, monitors, interactive displays, multimedia players, digital screens, loudspeakers and radio microphones. A coworking area has been created for independent work of students.
It is assumed that about 1.5 thousand students and residents will study in the building at the same time. The staff of the scientific and academic building will be more than 100 people, including six academicians and two professors of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), as well as more than 100 doctors and candidates of medical sciences, who previously worked in different parts of the MMNCC. In the future, it is planned to double the number of professors and teachers working here.
The concentration of the scientific and teaching potential of the Botkin Hospital in the new building will allow for the organization of a full cycle of scientific and practical activities – from formulating a problem based on one’s own experience and conducting research to implementing the results in clinical practice and subsequent dissemination of the experience to colleagues.
Constant interaction between clinical and scientific staff will allow real-time analysis of the experience gained and identification of problems, the solution of which requires additional research. The results of the conducted research work will be implemented in the clinical practice of the S.P. Botkin MMNCC and other medical institutions.
The opening of the scientific and academic building will allow for the active development of new scientific areas – an artificial intelligence laboratory, 3D modeling and bioprinting. In addition, patenting and licensing of scientific and technical achievements, registration of inventions and rationalization proposals are planned here.
Sergei Sobyanin: Modernization of Building No. 10 of the Botkin Hospital Completed
Modernization of the S.P. Botkin MMNCC
In 2019, the Moscow Government approved the development program for the Botkin Hospital. Its main areas are strengthening the material and technical base, training personnel, constructing and renovating buildings, and introducing modern diagnostic and treatment technologies.
The modernization program included 16 hospital buildings with a total area of over 67 thousand square meters. At present, these works are almost completed.
A comprehensive reconstruction of the hematology and surgical buildings, ophthalmology, palliative, urology, therapeutic and pathological buildings, nephrology and vascular centers, the center of outpatient oncology care (CAOC), and the food block was completed. A seven-story flagship center with a helipad and nine operating rooms was built and opened.
In addition, overhead passages were built between buildings No. 22, 28, 30, 33, 20, as well as between buildings No. 10, 16 and No. 10, 21. An underground two-level parking garage for 620 cars was built.
The territory around the S.P. Botkin MMNCC with an area of almost 18 hectares has been landscaped, it has become more comfortable for employees and patients. The front yard has been tidied up, where two new fountains have been installed instead of the old non-working one. The central park has been renovated, convenient paths have been laid and driveways have been arranged, gazebos, benches, pergolas and urns have been placed in the recreation areas. Almost 140 large linden trees, firs, pines, thujas, rowans, ornamental apple trees and more than 1,500 shrubs of various species have been planted on the territory. In addition, a convenient navigation system has been created and five checkpoints (CP) have been repaired.
As a result of the modernization, comfortable conditions for patients and medical staff were created in the reconstructed buildings of the Botkin Hospital, and new large city treatment centers were improved and opened. In particular, the Moscow City Ophthalmological Center with 125 beds, including seven operating rooms, was created. In 2024, 31,137 patients were treated in the hospital. In 2025, more than 15 thousand people were admitted to the 24-hour and day hospitals, as well as short-stay hospitals (SSH) and the admission department, and 70 thousand to the outpatient department.
A powerful modern pathomorphological and molecular biological laboratory has been created. In 2024, more than 250 thousand biopsies were performed here, about 50 thousand immunohistochemical studies were carried out. Over 100 thousand biopsies and about 20 thousand immunohistochemical studies were performed in four months of 2025.
Specialists have received new opportunities to treat patients with blood diseases, including in the bone marrow transplant department. About a thousand autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplants have been performed.
A nephrology center has been opened, where residents of the Central, Northern, and Northwestern Administrative Districts undergo a full cycle of treatment for kidney diseases. For patients of the Western Administrative District, an outpatient oncology care center has been opened, where about 200 thousand oncologist consultations and 40 thousand chemotherapy courses are conducted per year.
During the first year of operation of the new flagship center, more than 95 thousand patients were admitted and about 13 thousand operations were performed.
In addition, the Moscow Urology Center, one of the largest robotic urology centers in the country, has been updated. In 2024, 7,600 surgical interventions were performed there, 950 of which were robot-assisted. In 2025, more than four thousand surgical interventions were performed, including 410 robot-assisted.
The Botkin Hospital also opened a 30-bed purulent traumatology and surgery department with modern operating rooms. In 2024, 1.6 thousand operations were performed there, more than two thousand consultations were given, and 1.7 thousand people were treated.
Thanks to the modernization, the first specialized high-throughput endoscopic center in Russia for the early diagnosis of oncological diseases was opened in the reconstructed buildings. In 2024, more than 70 thousand studies were conducted there, including about 37 thousand gastro- and 33 thousand colonoscopies. More than half of the studies (57 percent) were performed under anesthesia. In 2025, more than 32 thousand studies have already been conducted, including more than 11 thousand gastro- and 19 thousand colonoscopies. 63 percent of the studies were performed under anesthesia.
The capacity of the short-stay surgical hospital with 12-bed wards and four operating rooms in the following areas has been increased: surgery, urology, traumatology and orthopedics, otolaryngology, purulent surgery, oncology, and vascular surgery. Patients receive a full cycle of preoperative and inpatient diagnostics and treatment. In 2024, 19 thousand operations were performed in the surgical SCP, in 2025 – 7616.
In addition, the hospital now has the ability to provide tablet nutrition to 1.8 thousand patients six times a day.
