In the conditions of reforming the health care system and medical education, Russia appeared on the verge of another demographic decline: in 2016 the number of births was only 5,500 more than the number of deaths. The generation of the 1990s, inconsiderable in number and, as it turned out, rather sickly, reached reproductive age. The service of motherhood and childhood protection is the first to face this demographic challenge and especially high demands are usually made on it.
