Pripyat Children’s and Maternity Ward

This is the Children’s and Maternity Ward of the Pripyat City Hospital № 126. It’s located on the outskirts of the city, on Druzhby Narodov street in a block of health related buildings.

The Maternity Ward was specialized in caring for women during pregnancy and childbirth. It also provides care for newborn infants. The Children’s Ward was set up for young children. The average age in Pripyat was about 26 years old. So with many young families, the wards were busy divisions of the hospital.

The hospital complex is called МСЧ-126 and has several interconnected buildings including an infectious disease clinic, mortuary, dental clinic and of course, the main hospital building.
