Krasnodar Krai strengthens maternal health with IVF expansion and clinic upgrades

A recent meeting of the Legislative Assembly of Krasnodar Krai focused on the region’s 'Motherhood and Childhood Protection' program. Lawmakers and health officials gathered to discuss ways of boosting population growth and improving medical support for families.

Key figures, including Speaker Yury Burlachko and Deputy Speaker Nikolai PetroPavlovsky, highlighted both progress and ongoing challenges in maternal and child healthcare.

The session brought together officials like Sergey Usenko, Chairman of the Regional Audit Chamber, and Yevgeny Filipov, the krai’s Minister of Health. They reviewed current healthcare infrastructure, which includes five perinatal centres, Krasnodar’s Maternity Hospital No. 4, 43 obstetric departments, and 79 women’s health clinics. Paediatric services are also provided through five hospitals, ten outpatient clinics, 67 polyclinic departments, and two diagnostic centres.

In 2025, Krasnodar Krai recorded 50,360 births, resulting in a birth rate of 8.6 per 1,000 people. Over the past decade, assisted reproductive technology has played a significant role, with more than 11,000 children born via IVF. Plans for 2026 include doubling the availability of IVF treatment to further support families struggling with infertility. Deputy Speaker Nikolai PetroPavlovsky pointed to the need for renovations in perinatal centres and women’s clinics, particularly in Novorossiysk and Anapa. He stressed that modernising these facilities would improve care quality for mothers and newborns. Meanwhile, Yury Burlachko called for better coordination between government agencies, medical institutions, and social services to tackle demographic issues more effectively.

The discussions underscored the region’s commitment to strengthening maternal and child health services. With expanded IVF access and infrastructure upgrades on the agenda, authorities aim to create better conditions for family growth. The next steps will involve closer collaboration between health providers and policymakers to meet these goals.
