«Childbirth is a miracle for every woman. And in such a crucial moment, comfortable conditions are essential. That, of course, would encourage women to give birth to a second, third, fourth, or fifth child. Childbirth is also a stressful situation. That is why it is very important to create not only visual comfort but also a psychological atmosphere to make delivery as smooth as possible. For me as a manager, this is a top priority. Our team doesn’t need to be taught psychological approaches to working with women in labor or how to communicate with empathy,» said Natalya Muravyova.

She noted that among Polesie women there are many young mothers. There are also older women who have decided to have a third or fourth child. «The trend has shifted toward larger families. As for our maternity hospital, the last major renovation was in 2004. More than 20 years have passed since then, and many rooms and wards needed updating. We have planned a full overhaul of all utility systems. In addition, interior finishing work in all premises will be carried out, the facade will be repaired, and the roofing will be replaced. Construction work is proceeding according to schedule, and the builders have promised we will reopen by 7 November,» the chief physician said.
