The first city medical complex of protection of mother and the infant in Moscow

In the early twentieth century in Moscow consistent development of city system of health care delivery to mothers and children was carried out. Under the leadership of the outstanding Russian obstetrician G. L. Grauerman, a medical complex was created, which included the Lepekhin maternity hospital and the Timister hospital for postpartum patients. Here for the first time in our country systematic protection of motherhood was carried out. The experience of the institution in 1916 was recommended for widespread distribution in Russia, and after the revolution was used to build the Soviet health care system. The example of the complex showed that in Russia it was possible to implement effective measures for the protection of infancy. The receiver of the complex is the Moscow regional research Institute of obstetrics and gynecology (MONIIAG)
