[Perspectives of development and production of portable diagnostic devices for therapeutic and cardiological care].

The paper discusses problems in the development and organization of production of inexpensive diagnostic devices designed for use at primary health care services. It also provides a programme for developing a family of diagnostic medical devices: electron two- and multi-channel medical phonoendoscopes, attachments to a portable phonocardiogram-recording electrocardiograph, a portable diagnostic apparatus for comprehensive examinations.
