MD Medical Group opens new clinic in Vladimir
30 January 2018, Moscow - MD Medical Group Investments Plc ("MD Medical Group", "MDMG" or the "Company" - LSE: MDMG), a leading Russian private healthcare provider, announces that it has opened a new clinic in Vladimir.
The clinic was opened in response to high demand for the services offered by the Group's first clinic in the city, which opened in January 2017. A new - significantly bigger - clinic is now replacing the first one. Compared to its predecessor, which operated out of a leased facility in a municipal healthcare institution, the new clinic offers its patients enhanced comfort and improved transport accessibility.
The new Mother and Child Vladimir clinic has 354 sq m of space and is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment. It offers a wider range of the Company's core healthcare services, including IVF, ultrasound, minor gynaecological operations in the day-patient centre, OBGYN consultations, and foetal medicine services. The clinic also includes an embryology laboratory. Other specialists on-site include primary care doctors, endocrinologists, andrologists, and more. In total, the clinic employs 20 doctors.
The clinic has a capacity for up to 400 minor gynaecological operations, 500 IVF cycles (including cycles under the MHI programme), and 15,000 consultations with doctors each year.
Mother and Child Vladimir operates to MD Medical Group's customary high standards of medical care.
Total investment in the project amounted to 30 million roubles.
Mark Kurtser, CEO of MD Medical Group, said:
"In January 2017, we opened our first clinic in the Vladimir Region. The past year has demonstrated that our decision to enter a new region was beneficial. The clinic has gained a solid reputation among local residents who have received access to high-technology healthcare where they live. Our services have been in high demand and thus we decided to launch a new clinic - much bigger and offering more services. And where previously patients had to visit our clinic in Yaroslavl to complete the second stage of IVF, now the whole cycle will take place within one clinic.
"In addition to IVF and our other core services for women, the clinic's offering will include endocrinology, andronology, and other specialties. This reflects our business development strategy - a focus on specialised services for women and children with a gradual expansion in the range and volume of services we offer the whole family."
