Ahead of Mother's Day, two more women's health centers opened in Moscow. This was announced on their channel in MAX messenger Sergei Sobyanin reported.
The centers operate according to the new standard of outpatient obstetric and gynecological care. They are part of City Clinical Hospital No. 31 named after Academician G.M. Savelyeva (12b Teply Stan Street) and the City Clinical Hospital named after A.K. Yeramishantsev (10 Pechorskaya Street, Building 1). Both centers began accepting patients on November 24, 2025.
"Such clinics are a key element of the new Moscow standard of medical care, which is based on comprehensive care for women's health. This standard includes a full range of services: from consultations and examinations to support during pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond, all within a single medical complex," the Moscow Mayor noted.

Today, 15 women's health centers operate within city hospitals. The city plans to complete the creation of another one by the end of the year.
Nine centers are planned to open over the next few years. This will complete the implementation of the new standard throughout Moscow.
Women's Health Center in Tyoply Stan
The Women's Health Center on Tyoply Stan Street (building 12a) opened in a reconstructed building with an area of 2,800 square meters.
The new division of City Clinical Hospital No. 31 named after Academician G.M. Savelyeva has united three women's health clinics in the Southwestern Administrative District.
The new center has a capacity of 750 visits per shift and serves over 190,000 people.
The center operates according to a new standard of outpatient obstetric and gynecological care. In one location, patients can receive virtually all necessary diagnostics and treatments to prepare for childbirth and maintain their health.
The center was equipped with the latest technology, including a mammogram machine and two ultrasound machines. In total, over 160 pieces of modern medical equipment were installed.
The two-story building with a basement houses 17 obstetrician-gynecologist offices, as well as cardiotocography, functional diagnostics (ECG, ABPM), and ultrasound rooms. Cervical pathology and mammography rooms will enable the detection of breast and cervical tumors at the earliest possible stage. The on-call doctor's office provides emergency care seven days a week, without an appointment. A school for expectant parents is available for those planning to become parents.
Psychologist's office
The center has a staff of 129 people, including 68 doctors and 37 nursing staff. These include specialists who were not available at the old-style women's clinics, such as endocrinologists, psychologists, and therapists.
"To provide high-quality medical care, the resources of City Clinical Hospital No. 31 named after Academician G.M. Savelyeva, including the laboratory and diagnostic service, will be utilized. This will allow for faster referrals, examinations, and consultations on complex cases," the Moscow Mayor added.

The women's health center's six-bed day hospital will help reduce the number of visits to other hospitals or clinics. This will eliminate the need for pregnant women to visit other medical facilities for glucose tolerance testing or for treatment and prevention of conditions that don't require 24-hour monitoring, such as morning sickness, high blood pressure, mild anemia, and others.
Participants in the "Becoming a Mom" program can take a free anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test to learn more about their reproductive health.
For the comfort of patients, the center has a play area for children, comfortable waiting areas with vending machines, a stroller room, and specially equipped nursing rooms.
Similar opportunities for specialized medical care and comfortable accommodation have been created at the new women's health center at the A.K. Yeramishantsev City Clinical Hospital on Pechorskaya Street.
Two new women's health centers have opened in Moscow, according to Sergei Sobyanin.More than 300 Moscow parents will be able to ensure the health of their future baby through the "Becoming a Mom" program.
New standard of outpatient obstetric and gynecological care
The new standard for outpatient obstetric and gynecological care in Moscow, developed by the Moscow Department of Health and approved by the Moscow Government, is based on comprehensive care for women's health and the convenience of receiving specialized treatment. The new standard includes a full range of services—from consultations and examinations to pregnancy support—all within a single facility (women's health center, maternity hospital, or perinatal center, and the gynecology department of a multidisciplinary hospital).
A key element of the new standard are women's health centers—modern clinics with a wide range of diagnostic capabilities where women can receive obstetric and gynecological care throughout their lives, prepare for pregnancy, and be monitored by their usual physician until the birth of their child.
The new centers are designed to replace traditional women's health clinics, where the quality and comfort of medical care do not meet modern requirements for several reasons, including:
— placement in small premises where it is not possible to install a full range of diagnostic equipment (often the area of a women’s consultation centre ranges from 350 to 600 square metres), and some of them have only three rooms;
— lack of uniform equipment standards: patients have to visit other medical organizations to undergo not only specialized but also many routine examinations, such as ultrasound;
— uneven workload of specialists and staff shortages, as well as the lack of uniform requirements for staffing, reduces the availability of medical care — not all women's clinics have specialists in specialized fields;
– the impossibility of creating comfortable living conditions.
In accordance with the new Moscow standard, women's health centers provide:
— continuity between outpatient and inpatient care. For patients, this means seamless transition from the women's health center to the maternity hospital, perinatal center, or multidisciplinary hospital. A single team of professional doctors monitors the woman's health;
— a unified standard of equipment that allows for a full range of diagnostic procedures, including ultrasound, mammography, fetal screening, and other examinations, to be performed using modern, high-tech equipment;
— a unified approach to specialist recruitment. The centers will employ physicians from various specialties, including obstetricians/gynecologists, general practitioners, endocrinologists, and psychologists;
— modern approaches to the prevention and treatment of diseases, including early detection of cancer, treatment of infertility, cervical pathology, benign breast diseases and other women's health disorders;
— Convenient digital solutions. Data on appointments, examination results, tests, and prescriptions are stored in an electronic medical record. All women's clinics and women's health centers are integrated into the Unified Medical Information and Analytical System (EMIAS), and core processes (structured protocols, site passports, routing, and pregnancy registries) are digitally managed.
— comfortable conditions for patients, ensuring intimacy and maintaining personal space, creating an atmosphere of coziness and a positive attitude.
Furthermore, a key advantage of women's health centers is their accessibility: they see patients seven days a week, unlike older women's clinics, which only see patients on weekdays.
Women's centers provide medical care to patients of all ages, including during pregnancy and for treatment of infertility and other health conditions. Pregnancy care is provided in the most comfortable conditions possible, with extensive diagnostic capabilities and the involvement of specialized specialists.
New digital services for women's health care have been introduced in the capital.Cardiotocography results are now available to expectant mothers in their electronic medical records.
Women's Reproductive Health Support Program
In September 2024, Moscow became the first city in Russia to launch the "Becoming a Mom" program to support women's reproductive health. The program aims to help Muscovites aged 25 to 39 (or 18 to 24 if medically indicated) plan their pregnancies, taking into account their individual needs. The project was developed in collaboration with leading reproductive specialists and obstetricians and gynecologists.
For the first time, procedures such as blood tests for anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which indicates the level of egg reserves, egg cryopreservation, and genetic diagnostics of embryos have become free for residents of the capital.
During the first stage, project participants are offered an AMH test. If the test results show low anti-Müllerian hormone levels, the patient is invited to a women's health center for a detailed consultation and offered a range of options for successful pregnancy planning. For example, they will be able to preserve their eggs free of charge using cryopreservation. The city will provide storage of eggs and embryos at participating clinics for two years. When the woman has the opportunity and desire to become a mother, she can use these eggs to become pregnant using assisted reproductive technologies.
Specialists can also offer free in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer procedures.
Today, EMIS has generated referrals for AMH screening tests for more than 1.3 million women.
Since the program's launch, approximately 300,000 Muscovites have been tested. This demonstrates the widespread coverage of the reproductive health population screening program among women.
