In June 1991, a pediatric outpatient consultative and diagnostic department was opened on the basis of the Kazan Cardiology Dispensary in order to improve the care of children with cardiorheumatic diseases by gradually establishing a centralized pediatric cardiorheumatic service in the city. We preliminarily analyzed the level of cardiorheumatologic care for children, which as of June 1991 did not meet the needs of the city residents, and we developed the stages of organizing a fundamentally new service.
