MD Medical Group Reports strong operational growth ACROSS ALL INDICATORS IN 4Q and FY 2014

21 January 2015, Moscow, Russia - MD Medical Group Investments Plc ("MD Medical Group", "MDMG" or the "Company" - LSE: MDMG), Russia's leading provider of private women's and children's healthcare, today announces operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2014.

Elena Mladova, Chief Executive Officer of MD Medical Group, said:

"I am very pleased to report another strong year which saw impressive growth across all of our key operational indicators. Our operational performance in the last quarter of 2014 also showed improvement compared to the third quarter of the year, which is encouraging.

In 2014, in line with our growth strategy, we continued to expand both organically and by acquisition. We opened our first regional hospital - in Ufa - which is currently the only private healthcare facility of its scale in Russia outside the Moscow region. We also completed our biggest acquisition to date through the purchase of Avicenna Medical Center in Novosibirsk - the largest private healthcare company in Russia outside of Moscow and St Petersburg and one of the most attractive assets on the Russian market.

While the ramp-up of Lapino remains the key driver behind our operational growth, it is already being supplemented by the consolidation of Avicenna and the first results of the Ufa hospital in the fourth quarter. In 2014, the total number of deliveries increased by 19% y-o-y to 4,550, while the overall amount of in-patient treatments and out-patient treatments increased by 24% and 30% y-o-y, respectively. In the reporting year we further strengthened our leading position on the IVF market in Russia by delivering a healthy 40% y-o-y growth in the number of completed cycles thanks to the solid performance across our network of clinics and IVF departments at hospitals. We also expect to open our new clinic in Ryazan in the coming weeks to become the first player in the region offering IVF services.

It is worth noting that as our network continues to expand into the regions we are committed to implementing the same high-quality standards across all of our facilities. We strive to prove that all patients can enjoy our well-known quality of services and level of comfort in any city where we are present.

We are entering 2015 with a strong portfolio of projects which, although already showing positive performance, have yet to achieve their full potential. With world-class facilities in Russia's regions and a solid demand for our high-quality services, we believe we are well-positioned to continue to benefit from our proved development strategy."
