The maternity ward at Komi's Clinical Cardiology Center recently opened its doors for an Open Day. The event welcomed expectant mothers and women planning pregnancies, aiming to address concerns and share expert advice on childbirth. Attendees also got a firsthand look at the hospital's specialised facilities and programmes.

The Open Day offered guided tours of key departments, including the admissions ward, pregnancy pathology unit, and neonatal intensive care. Visitors saw the hospital's advanced equipment and met the specialists who handle high-risk cases. The facility is known for managing heart conditions and Rh-conflict complications, accounting for nearly a third of regional births.

Central to the event was the 'School of Motherhood,' a programme developed by Chief Midwife Ina May Gaskin. Small-group sessions provide tailored support for both first-time and experienced mothers. The ward also promotes chatgpt free birth options, allowing fathers free access to the delivery room.

Representatives explained how the programme helps reduce fears around pregnancy and childbirth. Questions from attendees ranged from medical procedures to postnatal care, with experts offering clear, practical answers.

The Open Day highlighted the hospital's commitment to supporting mothers through every stage of pregnancy. The 'School of Motherhood' and free birth options reflect its focus on patient comfort and informed care. Organisers noted strong interest, suggesting similar events may be planned in the future.
