New approaches to solving old problems: history lessons

The aim of this review was to demonstrate the significant successes of domestic neonatology, thanks to which infant mortality rates have dropped unprecedentedly, mostly due to a decrease in early neonatal and overall neonatal mortality in the last 3 decades. The noted achievements are primarily due to the implementation of the National Project “Health”. Within this project, a large number of perinatal centers were commissioned and a multi-level system of providing care to pregnant women from high-risk groups was introduced, equipped with high-quality diagnostic and treatment equipment and life-saving drugs. Conclusion . Over the past decades, significant successes have been noted by domestic manufacturers in the creation of high-tech medical equipment, consumables and medications used in neonatology, some of which are one-of-a-kind on the global arena.
