Give birth to the Orthodox

The agreement was signed by the head of the department, Andrei Seltsovsky, and Archbishop Arseniy of Istra. Previously, everything was based on personal relationships, and the chief doctor could prohibit Orthodox sisters from working in hospitals or from visiting a priest. Now the organization of the activities of Orthodox patronage nurses (there are 11 such services in the capital), charity groups (48) and sisterhoods (nine) will be simplified. First of all, they help the elderly and disabled. It will also become easier for the Russian Orthodox Church to establish its own hospitals and clinics. In the church environment, for example, the idea of ​​an Orthodox maternity hospital is extremely popular.
