The second private clinic in Yekaterinburg will stop performing abortions.

      Yekaterinburg Medical Center (YMC), following the "Shans" clinic, will stop performing abortions as of January 1, 2026. This was announced by its director, Darya Akulova.

      "If a woman, after all consultations, decides that she does not want to carry the pregnancy to term, then from January 1, 2026 we will act in accordance with the new patient routing approved by the regional Ministry of Health. Certain state-sector medical institutions in Yekaterinburg will be designated where she can undergo the new consultations and make final decisions," Akulova replied on OTV.

      The head of the medical center noted that private clinics' refusal to perform abortions may partially affect birth rates, but will not solve the region's demographic problems. According to her, additional measures of social support for families are needed so that women can go on maternity leave without fear, regardless of the length of their service and the level of their official salary.

      Recall that the initiative for the voluntary refusal of private clinics to provide paid abortions in the region is being promoted by the deputy governor — the Minister of Health of Sverdlovsk Oblast, Tatyana Savinova. Incidentally, she also decided to close a large maternity hospital in Khimmash and to reduce several similar institutions across the oblast.
