Maternitatea Municipală nr. 2

Maternitatea Municipală nr. 2 at 12 Grigore Vieru Boulevard in the Râșcani district is the first purpose-built maternity hospital in Moldova — opened in 1950 — where over two hundred thousand children have been born since; it is a municipal institution and the clinical base of the Medical University's obstetrics and gynaecology department, where academician Gheorghe Paladi trained. The admissions unit and obstetric emergencies work around the clock.

It provides monitoring of normal and high-risk pregnancies, natural and caesarean births in individual delivery rooms, newborn care with a neonatal intensive-care unit, pre- and postnatal psychological counselling, gynaecological consultations with colposcopy, cytology, biopsy and 4D ultrasound, and family planning. Services are contracted by CNAM; gynaecological consultations are booked by phone, and tariffs exist for additional services.

Mothers' opinions are generally good: reviews praise the atmosphere, doctors and midwives by name and the „like home” feeling; complaints concern individual cases of births with a chosen doctor and triage on admission.
