According to the Minister of Health of the Krasnodar Territory Vladimir Krushelnitsky, assistance is provided here not only during childbirth, but also at the stages of pregnancy planning and after the birth of a child. Initially, the institution worked as a maternity ward of a city hospital.

Later, the capabilities of the center expanded: specialized units appeared in it. Among them is the intensive care and intensive care unit for newborns. It's been in place for 19 years.

Doctors help children born prematurely, as well as babies with various pathologies. The record of the center is the rescue of a baby weighing only 540 grams. More than four thousand children have already been helped in this department, Krushelnitsky said.
