Two more women's health centers have opened in Moscow: the women's health center at the S.S. Yudin City Clinical Hospital and the women's health center at the V.V. Veresaev City Clinical Hospital (10 Lobbenskaya Street). This was reported on their channel inMAX messenger Sergei Sobyanin reported.

"The capital now has 13 centers operating under the new standard of outpatient obstetrics and gynecology care, eight of which opened this year. Here, women can receive modern diagnostics and treatment, prepare for childbirth, and receive regular check-ups—all in one place," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Source: Sergei Sobyanin's channel inMAX messenger

They plan to complete the creation of three more by the end of 2025.

Plans call for nine more centers in the coming years. This will complete the implementation of the new standard of medical care for women in all districts of Moscow.

The Women's Health Center on Medikov Street (Building 7) was opened in a reconstructed building with an area of 1,950 square meters.

The new division of the S.S. Yudin City Clinical Hospital united four women's clinics located in different districts of the Southern Administrative District. They occupied small spaces and therefore had limited patient care capabilities.

The new center's capacity is 360 visits per shift. The total assigned population is 164,000 people.

The center will operate according to a new standard of outpatient obstetric and gynecological care. In one location, patients will be able to receive virtually all necessary diagnostics and treatments, both to prepare for childbirth and to maintain their women's health.

The center was equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment, including a mammography machine and three ultrasound machines. In total, over 450 pieces of modern medical equipment were purchased.

The three-story building (plus a basement) houses 18 obstetrician-gynecologist offices, cardiotocography and functional diagnostics rooms (ECG, ABPM, Holter monitoring), and two ultrasound rooms. A cervical pathology room and a mammography room are also located here, enabling the detection of tumors at the earliest possible stage. The center also features an on-call doctor, open seven days a week to provide emergency care without an appointment, and a school for expectant parents.

The center has a staff of 108 people, including 49 doctors and 43 nursing staff.

In addition, the resources of the S.S. Yudin City Clinical Hospital, including its laboratory and diagnostic services (CT, MRI), will be utilized to provide high-quality medical care. This will allow for the prompt implementation of a full range of necessary examinations.

The women's health center's four-bed day hospital will reduce the number of visits to other hospitals or clinics, including during pregnancy. Specifically, pregnant women will no longer need to visit other medical facilities for glucose tolerance testing or treatment for conditions and preventative measures that do not require 24-hour monitoring (e.g., morning sickness, high blood pressure, and mild anemia).

For the convenience of patients, the center also offers comfortable waiting areas, a stroller room, and specially equipped feeding rooms.

The new women's health center on Medikov Street will welcome its first patients on September 29.

New standard of outpatient obstetric and gynecological care

The new standard for outpatient obstetric and gynecological care, approved by the Moscow Government, is based on comprehensive care for women's health and the comfort of receiving specialized treatment. It 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 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 patients can receive lifelong obstetric and gynecological care, prepare for pregnancy, and be monitored by their physician before 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.

For example, due to their small spaces, which lack the capacity to install a full range of diagnostic equipment (women's clinics often range from 350 to 600 square meters), some clinics have only three rooms. There are also no uniform equipment standards, meaning patients must visit other medical facilities for not only specialized but also many routine examinations (such as ultrasounds).

Furthermore, women's clinics experience uneven workloads and staff shortages. The lack of uniform staffing requirements reduces access to medical care—not all women's clinics have specialized doctors. Another factor is the inability to create comfortable 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 Muscovite's health is in the hands of a single team of professional doctors;

— a unified standard of equipment that allows for a full range of diagnostic procedures (ultrasound, mammography, fetal screening and other examinations) to be performed using modern, high-tech equipment;

— a unified approach to staffing. The centers will employ specialists from various fields: obstetricians/gynecologists, therapists, endocrinologists, psychologists, and other professionals;

— modern approaches to disease prevention and treatment, including early detection of cancer, treatment of infertility, cervical pathology, benign breast diseases, and much more;

— Convenient digital solutions. All data on appointments, examination results, tests, and prescriptions are stored in an electronic medical record. Women's clinics and women's health centers are integrated into the Unified Medical Information and Analytical System (EMIAS). All core processes (structured protocols, site passports, routing, pregnancy registries, etc.) are implemented digitally;

— 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 health centers provide medical care to women of all ages, including those during pregnancy, including those in outpatient groups (those with infertility and other health conditions requiring specialized treatment). Pregnancy care is provided in the most comfortable conditions possible, with extensive diagnostic capabilities and the involvement of specialized specialists.

Women's Reproductive Health Support Program

In September 2024, Moscow became the first city in Russia to launch a program to support women's reproductive health. "I'll become a mother"Its goal is to assist patients aged 25 to 39 (or 18 to 24 if medically indicated) in planning their pregnancy, taking into account their individual health needs. The project was developed in collaboration with leading reproductive specialists and obstetricians/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 AMH levels, the patient will be 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 offered the opportunity 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 conceive using assisted reproductive technologies.

Specialists can also offer free in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer procedures.

Today, the EMIS system has generated referrals for screening tests to determine AMH levels for more than 1.3 million women.

Since the project's launch, 270,000 Muscovites have been tested. This demonstrates the high coverage of the reproductive health population screening program among women.

The "Becoming a Mom" program helps young Muscovites assess their reproductive potential.More than eight thousand participants in the reproductive health support project will soon become mothers.

A section dedicated to VDNKh has been launched on the mos.ru portal. It contains key facts about the country's main exhibition—its history, traditions, and development strategy through 2030. This was reported by Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow.

The section's visual accompaniment includes historical archival photographs and modern shots of renovated pavilions, fountains, monuments, and picturesque corners.

"The online project consists of several thematic sections. The first tells the story of the complex's revival, which began in 2014. At VDNKh, not only were architectural monuments restored, but new attractions, already beloved by Muscovites and tourists, were also created. These include the Moskvarium, the Aerial Tram cable car, and the Atom Museum," noted Natalia Sergunina.

The website also gave special attention to the museum and exhibition cluster. It comprises over 30 facilities, including the Cosmonautics and Aviation Center, the Slovo Museum of Slavic Literature, and the Cinema Museum, and is constantly expanding. For example, at the end of 2024, the Museum of Heroism, dedicated to the exploits of defenders of the Fatherland, opened in Pavilion No. 59, "Grain." This year, the complex opened Russia's only biocluster. Its first location is Pavilion No. 29, "Floriculture and Landscaping." Four more sites are expected to open by the summer of 2026.

Today, VDNKh is a large-scale cultural and educational complex, uniting 42 cultural heritage sites and 325 hectares of landscaped public space.

"Since the beginning of the year, VDNKh has been visited by over 18 million people, 10.5 million of them during the summer. Thousands of events were organized for guests: festivals, concerts, sporting competitions, and business forums. During the warm season, guides developed around 60 new tours of the museums and the complex," added Natalia Sergunina.

VDNKh is one of the key venues for this large-scale project Summer in MoscowThe venue hosted shows of the fifth Moscow Fashion Week, the "Friendship of Peoples" national hospitality festival, the "Inspiration" International Arts Festival, the "Tastes of Russia" gastrofestival, City Day, Cinema Day, and Chess Day celebrations, tournaments, races, lectures, and much more. Furthermore, the Orion family theme park attracted over 900,000 visitors.

In September, the exhibition "The Image of Moscow in Russian Art from the Collection of the State Russian Museum" opened in Pavilion No. 1, "Central," featuring 115 works of art. Some of these are being shown in the capital for the first time.

Anyone in the country can also take a virtual tour of the digital replica of the exhibition. One of the sections in the new section leads to the page of the interactive project "MetaVDNKh," which was developed for the exhibition complex's 85th anniversary in 2024.

This year, a development strategy was adopted that will shape VDNKh's future until 2030. It will place even greater emphasis on hospitality, environmental quality, and healthy living.

A new walking route along the Moscow River has been created in the south of the capital. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"Last year, over 20 kilometers of Yauza River embankments were renovated, and this year, comprehensive improvements were carried out on six Moskva River embankments: Nagatinskaya, Novodanilovskaya, Danilovskaya, Paveletskaya, Derbenevskaya, and Shlyuzovaya. As a result, a new, convenient pedestrian route for strolls along the Moskva River has emerged, with a total length of 11.4 kilometers," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

The new route complements the existing network of promenades. On one side, it connects with the Ozerkovskaya, Ovchinnikovskaya, and Kadashevskaya embankments, forming a single pedestrian space that extends to Gorky Park and Vorobyovy Gory. On the other side, you can stroll through Nagatinsky Zaton to the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve.

As part of the project, overhead power lines were relocated underground into cable ducts, improving the visual appearance of the space and ensuring reliable operation of utilities. Sidewalks were widened and resurfaced, the roadway asphalt was repaired, and the lighting system was modernized.

145 high-contrast lighting poles were installed at pedestrian crossings. New pavilions were installed for public transport passengers, navigation signs were installed, and rest areas with comfortable benches were created.

Landscaping is a mandatory component of all capital improvement projects. 170,000 square meters of lawns and flowerbeds have been laid out along the embankments. Around 70 large trees are planned to be planted by the end of autumn.
