On the night of June 15, four babies were born at the capital's Perinatal Center. This was reported by the director of the Perinatal Center, Dmytro Govseiev, according to UNN.
4 babies were born tonight at the Kyiv Perinatal Center during an enemy shelling. While the enemy sows death, Ukrainians give birth to the future
As UNN previously reported, the capital's Perinatal Center admits the majority of pregnant women with premature labor. Conditions have been created at the Center to ensure that work does not stop even during the most difficult times.
"Even before the full-scale invasion, we were offered to install a pellet boiler room, independent of the centralized heating supply. It is also cheaper. Today, we are probably the only maternity hospital that can exist completely autonomously. Our own boiler room. Our own well - there is always water, even when there is nothing else. Water reserves. A catering unit that operates without an external power supply. Generators at every branch. There are only six such hospitals in Kyiv that can be completely autonomous," Dmytro Govseiev, director of the Perinatal Center, said in an interview with UNN.
A corresponding protocol of actions has been established at the Perinatal Center in case of an air raid alert; for example, a patient who has not yet entered the active phase of labor is immediately moved to the shelter. Delivery areas are also equipped in the shelter. If a woman is on the operating table, the surgery continues in a protected operating block. All actions are practiced; every doctor and staff member knows their role in any given situation.
The entire medical team is ready to act according to approved emergency response algorithms – without stopping and without panic. In case of a critical situation, evacuation routes have been established, and constant communication is maintained with city services.
This approach allows the Center to continue its work even during the most difficult periods.
