The coverage of antiretroviral therapy has reached 95%, and in 2024 no cases of mother-to-child transmission of HIV were recorded in the region.

Among the results are also the launch of a robotic laboratory for 50 thousand studies per day, the first unmanned delivery of biomaterials in Russia, entry into the top 2 ranking of the digital transformation of hospitals in the country and victory in the competition of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation: in 2025, the center was recognized as the best AIDS center in Russia.
