Among the buildings already under construction on the site are the Epidemiological and Microbiological Institutes of the State Health Inspection Department, veterinary stations for horses, laboratories where horse serums and vaccines will be prepared and a department to house small animals for experimental purposes. The Traumatological Institute will have a children's clinic for the study of common injuries, especially those sustained in street accidents. An Orthopaedic Department, a special jaw clinic, and a large department for mechanical therapy are also included in the plans for this Institute. The buildings of the All-Union Institute of Experimental Medicine will be commenced next spring and will occupy a site of 1,000 acres. The Institute will also serve as a postgraduate medical school.
