In the MHIF, it was noted that within the framework of the State Guarantee Program, two types of hospitalization are distinguished.
If a pregnant woman requires treatment for illnesses unrelated to pregnancy (such as surgical, therapeutic, infectious, and others), she is directed to a specialized hospital with the necessary medium-level co-payment. Such illnesses include acute appendicitis, injuries, pneumonia, various pathologies of the respiratory organs, gastrointestinal diseases, and urinary system diseases, as well as infectious diseases, including influenza and acute intestinal infections.
At the same time, medical assistance directly related to pregnancy, childbirth, and their complications is provided free of charge. This assistance is carried out exclusively in institutions engaged in obstetric care — maternity hospitals and general practice centers.
The MHIF also emphasized the importance of timely registration of pregnant women. To receive all the necessary benefits and rights, it is essential to register with a family doctor at the Family Medicine Center. After that, the woman's information will be entered into the registry of pregnant women, which will confirm her insurance status. This status is a mandatory condition for applying medium-level co-payment for the treatment of illnesses unrelated to pregnancy.
For any questions, citizens can contact the MHIF's 24-hour hotline at 113.
