Abstract

The article reflects historical facts about the work of the employees of the Ural Research Institute for the Protection of Mothers and Infancy (Ural Research Institute for the Protection of Mothers and Infancy) during the Great Patriotic War (WWII). Some of the employees were mobilized and worked on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War as medical and non-medical workers, some worked in rear hospitals. Their stories about everyday life in the war have been preserved. The rest worked within the walls of the institute, carrying out work on the protection of motherhood and infancy. During the Great Patriotic War, the number of beds at the institute increased to 500, it was one of the few maternity hospitals. During the war years, more than 30,000 patients received medical care at the Research Institute for the Protection of Mothers and Infancy, 18,600 children were born, about 3,000 operations were performed. Scientific work also actively continued, dissertations were defended in the most popular areas of work. The feat of the institute’s employees should not be forgotten!
