For any woman who is preparing to become a mother, childbirth is not only exciting, but also difficult at the same time. This is one of the most difficult tests a woman goes through in her life. And, of course, every expectant mother would like to be sure that she will be provided with qualified medical assistance and support in the maternity hospital, because not only her life, but also the fate of a newborn child depends on the work of doctors. Fortunately, on the territory of our country, several clinics have been created on the basis of research institutes, where pregnancy planning is carried out and obstetric care is carried out. From the material of the article, you will just learn about one of these institutions.
NII OMM: description, activity
The Ural Research Institute for Maternal and Infancy Protection was established on the initiative of employees of the Ministry of He alth of the Russian Federation. The clinic is one of the oldest institutions in the country, where they provide assistance during pregnancy and childbirth. Five years ago, this medical facility turned one hundred and thirty-five years old.
At the beginning of its existence, it representeda small maternity home. Over the entire long period of development, the clinic has significantly improved the methods and means of providing assistance to pregnant women, women in labor and newborns. The main goals of the research institutes are still the application of modern scientific achievements in the process of providing medical care and the preservation of the he alth of couples and future generations.
The Research Institute is located at the address: Sverdlovsk region, Yekaterinburg, house number 1 on Repina street. The organizational department of the research institute works from Monday to Thursday from eight-thirty in the morning to five-fifteen in the evening, Friday is a shortened day (until 16:15).
History of the development of the clinic
The date of creation of the Research Institute of OMM is April 10, 1877. The organization was the first maternity hospital in Yekaterinburg. It was founded and existed at the expense of private entrepreneurs. In 1879, the doctor V. M. Onufriev became the manager of this institution. It organizes midwifery training sessions. A few years later, Onufriev created a unit for the treatment of diseases of the female reproductive system at the maternity hospital. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the hospital expanded, diagnostic departments appeared, laboratories for research in the field of bacteriology, and scientific work was carried out. In addition, the maternity hospital is beginning to treat tumors of the female reproductive organs with the help of X-rays, and provide medical care to children born prematurely. After the events of 1917, the research institute became the property of the state, and in 1930 it received its name - the Institute for the Protection of Maternity andinfancy.
By the forties of the 20th century, the OMM Research Institute in Yekaterinburg was expanding, various kinds of premises for laboratory research were being created, as well as new divisions. During the war years, the clinic did not stop conducting research activities. Already in the 70s, the research institute received a license for additional training of specialists in the field of medicine, as well as the publication of specialized literature.
Professionals working in the clinic
Leading physicians with extensive experience in this field carried out their activities in this organization. Doctors of NII OMM are highly qualified specialists, many of them have scientific degrees. For example, Bashmakova N. V., who graduated from the State Medical Institute in Sverdlovsk, has been working at the research institute for many years. She has a DMN degree and a professor, she was awarded the title of Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation. In the mid-nineties of the last century, by order of the Ministry of He alth, R. F. Bashmakova was appointed deputy director for research activities. She is the author of many scientific papers published at the Research Institute.
One of the most experienced gynecologists of the clinic is G. B. Malygina. She has been working at the research institute for almost 30 years. During this period of time, Malygina actively carried out research work and acquired the position of deputy director in this area. She works on writing and publishing specialized literature at the research institute, but at the same time she does not forget about practical activities. Malygina receives patients, provides assistance during childbirth. She is also the initiator of the creation of courses for pregnant women and spouses preparing to become parents on the basis of the institution. Other specialists working in the clinic include Dankova I. V., Erofeev E. N., Deryabina E. G., Zhukova I. F. and many others.

In Vitro Fertilization
IVF at the Research Institute of OMM in Yekaterinburg is not the first year. According to the doctors of the clinic, the fears of many women and couples about the procedure are unfounded. To date, the hypothesis that in vitro fertilization has a negative effect on the fetus has not been confirmed.
During the procedure, even taking into account adverse factors, only one of two outcomes is possible - either the embryo is not viable, or the child is born completely he althy. The number of children with developmental defects who were born with the help of IVF is no more than those who were conceived in a natural way. Malformations are the consequences of either a genetic predisposition or negative environmental factors (negative situation at work, stress and illness of the mother). In general, the effectiveness of the in vitro fertilization method is approximately 20 percent (the procedure is considered effective if it ends with the birth of a child).

Opinions about the clinic
The OMM Research Institute in Yekaterinburg is considered one of the leading medical institutions in our country. It has a developed scientific base, a long history of formation and a fairly good reputation. In most cases, reviews of NII OMM are positive. Many note the high professionalism of doctors, modern methods of examination and treatment. Judging by the reviews, even complex cases of infertility and problems with bearing a child are diagnosed and treated at the research institute. For some, this institution was the last hope for a chance to become mothers. Many also note the high quality of obstetric services, when even in the case of severe pathology, doctors managed to save the life and he alth of women and their children. Patients with warmth and gratitude remember these doctors who helped them cope with such difficult situations.
However, you can also find negative reviews about the OMM Research Institute in Yekaterinburg. For example, some women call for information and to make an appointment with a doctor, but do not receive answers to their questions. They do not like the quality of advisory services and it seems unpleasant to communicate with them by the staff of the registry. There are patients who talk about the difficulties that arise whenrecords and long waiting in line. But, as the people say, "who is as lucky", and sometimes everything depends solely on the situation.
