Statement from the CEO 
Mark Kurtser, CEO at MDMG, said: 

“In 2022, the Group delivered solid operating and financial performance, adapting to the new business environment, with 
revenue flat year-on-year despite the last year’s strong base. 

I am pleased to note that effective cost control enabled us to maintain a strong EBITDA margin of 31% in the reporting period. 

We continue to capitalise on our diversification strategy in terms of pricing, service range and geography. We strengthened our 
market position in Moscow and the Moscow Region by opening two new medical centres with a focus on antenatal care in 
Butovo and Mytishchi. In 2022, the Group continued to diversify its geographical footprint: during the year, we launched two 
clinical hospitals, in St. Petersburg and Tyumen, and also tapped into the Sverdlovsk Region, opening our first out-patient clinic 
with a focus on IVF in Yekaterinburg. 

During the reporting period, we saw an increase in demand in segments not related to women’s and children’s healthcare, 
including traumatology, cardiology and oncology. As an example, in just two years after launch, our Lapino-2 surgical unit with 
a focus on oncology generated as much as RUB 2,182 mln in revenue and achieved a 50% utilisation rate while maintaining 
potential for further growth. Based on expected demand and expertise we have built in oncology, we will continue to expand 
the Lapino medical cluster in 2023 and are now commencing the construction of an 13,175-sq.m. Lapino-3 nuclear medical 
centre, which will support a full cycle of medical care in oncology. 

In addition, we are at the planning and design stage for our upcoming Domodedovo hospital, which we plan to open in 2025, 
thus strengthening our leading position in Moscow and the Moscow Region. 

Thanks to effective steps taken to ensure sufficient liquidity, our financial standing remained stable. It was for the first time in 
the Company’s history that we posted negative net debt. 

Throughout the Group's history, we have been focusing on providing high-quality and efficient medical services to our patients 
while safeguarding the interests of our shareholders. To this end, we have been paying steady dividends. Despite the 
persistent external headwinds, we distributed more than 50% of our net profit in dividends for H1 2022. 

In conclusion, I would like to thank the entire MD Medical Group team for their contribution to our results and the Group's ability 
to provide top-notch medical care and deliver stable performance.”

Strategic goals 
Strategic goal 

Our progress in 2022 

To provide the highest quality of care to patients and achieve a high level of customer satisfaction 

We are strongly committed to maintaining the highest 
possible quality of our services and not only meeting but 
also exceeding our patients’ expectations. We focus on 
ensuring that all of our facilities – both existing and new 
ones – adhere to MD Medical Group’s customary high 
standards of medical care. 

In 2022, despite macroeconomic woes, we continued to 
operate as usual and delivered strong results while working 
hard to improve our services and adapting to the new 
business environment. We optimised the logistics process 
associated with the supply of medicines and medical 
equipment. In this regard, we deeply analysed market and 
started to procure medicines of appropriate quality through 
alternative suppliers. In addition, we created stocks of 
vaccines and medicines, taking into account their expiration 
date and turnover. 

To recruit and retain the best and the most qualified personnel 

As one of the largest employers in the sector, we pay 
specific attention to ensure optimal working conditions and 
incentives for our personnel. We are constantly improving 
the professionalism of our specialists. We will continue to 
employ the best professionals in the market by offering 
competitive salaries as well as exciting opportunities for 
career advancement. 

To deliver value to our stakeholders  

Ultimately, we want to ensure that all our actions and 
decisions will benefit all our stakeholders. As the first public 
healthcare company in Russia, we strive to deliver the best 
performance and achieve strong results which translate into 
high long-term value for our investors. This is impossible 
without providing the best possible service to our patients, 
creating the best conditions for our employees and 
maintaining our high business reputation in interaction with 
our corporate counterparties and the state. 

To roll out our proven business model 

With the largest regional medical network in Russia 
comprised of 53 facilities in 28 cities2, we have a deep 
understanding of the Russian market and a strong track 
record. We continue to open new facilities in the regions to 
expand the range of services offered. 

In 2022, we continued to hire, retain and train new members 
of our staff. In addition to the existing facilities, our new 
Tyumen-2 and MD Group Lakhta hospitals became major 
employers of medical staff in the region, recruiting both local 
professionals and current MDMG employees relocated from 
Moscow and other regional hospitals. Throughout the year, 
we continued to improve the recruitment process, as well as 
working conditions and communication within the Group. In 
2022, the MGIMO-Med medical university, created jointly with 
MGIMO, was launched as the future personnel base of the 
Group. 

We believe that our consistent investment into the business 
supports the creation of long-term value for our shareholders. 

In the reporting year, we continued to share the results of our 
success with shareholders by paying dividends. Despite the 
persistent external headwinds, we distributed more than 50% 
of our net profit in dividends for H1 2022. 

We strengthened our market position in Moscow and the 
Moscow Region by opening two new medical centres with a 
focus on antenatal care in Butovo and Mytishchi. The Group 
continues to diversify its geographical footprint: during the 
year, we launched two clinical hospitals in St. Petersburg and 
Tyumen, and also tapped into the Sverdlovsk Region by 
opening an out-patient clinic in Yekaterinburg with a focus on 
IVF cycles. 

To provide balanced services structure including core and other medical services 

While we initially focused solely on women and children's 
healthcare, once we were 100% confident that we were 
able to maintain our high level of service, we began to add 

In 2022, we continue to capitalise on our diversification 
strategy in terms of pricing, service range and geography. 
During this year, we saw an increase in demand in segments

1. Out-patient clinics “close to home” 

MD Medical Group is a leading private healthcare provider in Russia. We started by providing specialised healthcare for 
women and children and soon earned a reputation as a sector leader in deliveries and IVF cycles. To respond to an increasing 
demand for additional medical services outside OBGYN and paediatrics, we started gradually introducing new services, while 
making sure that we could deliver in line with our high standards.  

Today, we have facilities all over Russia that offer a full range of healthcare services for our patients, covering their full life 
cycle. The Group’s offering for patients includes a wide range of services outside of reproductive care, such as surgeries and 
cancer treatment. Our key objective is to provide for the patients’ comfort and offer a premium level of service.  

We have a vertically integrated healthcare delivery system. MD Medical Group operates in diversified format both in terms of 
the range of services offered to clients and price policy, including multidisciplinary clinical hospitals, consultative and diagnostic 
centre and out-patient clinics and MD LAB laboratory network. Depending on the complexity of the treatment, we can refer our 
clients from out-patient clinics in a “close to home” format to our clinical hospitals with a full range of services.

Lapino as a medical 
cluster 
Out-patient 
network

We continue to develop vertically integrated business processes, integrating technological and educational initiatives into them. 

We are developing Lapino as a medical cluster, which now includes the state-of-the-art oncology centre Lapino-2, the Lapino-4 
COVID-centre and our flagship hospital Lapino-1. Based on the expected demand and accumulated experience in oncology, 
we will continue to expand the Lapino medical cluster in 2023 and begin construction of 13,175-sq.m. Nuclear Medicine Centre 
Lapino-3, which will provide a full cycle of medical care in oncology. 

The Company's strategy is closely related to attracting the best personnel to our medical facilities. In that regard, in 2022, 
MD Medical Group jointly with the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) opened MGIMO-Med, a medical 
university. In cooperation with MGIMO, we have developed a modern educational programme that meets the current needs of 
the industry. The educational process is carried out at the sites of the Lapino medical cluster, the Odintsovo campus of 
MGIMO, as well as at sites of our programme partners such as Pirogov Research Medical University, the Research Institute of 
Human Morphology, the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. The current programme includes the 
General Medicine training of specialists. In the future, the project also will cover other levels of training, in particular, residency 
and additional professional education.  

Given the scope of our activities and the accumulated experience, MGIMO-Med offers students the unique individual medical 
education, as well as excellent opportunities for further career and professional development in MD Medical Group. 

To increase patient engagement, we are also using Digital Medical Operations (Doctis) telemedicine consultation platform. 
As of publication date, more than 1,500 doctors were connected to Doctis. The online format has become especially popular 
during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing patients to stay in touch with their doctors. The introduction of telemedicine 
consultations, among other things, made it possible to provide some medical services remotely, e.g., to patients planning IVF 
cycles.  

Nationwide healthcare network 
MD Medical Group operates one of the largest regional private network of healthcare facilities in the country. Today patients 
from 26 Russian regions have access to medical care at the clinical hospitals and out-patient clinics. 

In 2022, the Company continued actively implementing its development strategy across Russia. By the end of the year, we 
were managing 53 modern healthcare facilities, including 10 hospitals and 43 out-patient clinics. The development of 
MD Medical Group in 2022 were marked by the opening of MD Group Lakhta multifunctional hospital in St. Petersburg with a 
focus on childbirth and gynaecological surgery, which during the pandemic was temporarily focused on providing medical care 
to patients with infections, including coronavirus. We also expanded our regional presence by launching Tyumen-2 infectious 
disease hospital as part of further development of our medical cluster in Tyumen. This is the continuation of our dedication to 
the Company’s strategy aimed at diversification of medical services in our portfolio and geographical expansion into the 
regions of Russia. We are continuously strengthening our market position in Moscow and the Moscow Region by opening two

footprint: in 2022, we also tapped into the Sverdlovsk Region by opening our first out-patient clinic with a focus on IVF in 
Yekaterinburg.

Revenue 

Total revenue in 2022 remained flat y-o-y at RUB 25,222 mln. Due to a drop in COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment services 
brought on by the pandemic slowdown, revenue of the Group's hospitals in Moscow fell by 7.1% year over year. This decline 
was completely offset by an increase in revenue at regional hospitals and out-patient clinics. The key drivers behind this growth 
were a stable demand for IVF in Moscow and the Moscow Region (the Group’s revenue from IVF up 9.9% y-o-y), on-target 
capacity utilisation rates at regional hospitals (revenue up 12.1% y-o-y) amid a post-COVID recovery in demand for medical 
services, and strong performance of new projects – MD Group Lakhta and the medical cluster in Tyumen.

Gross profit in 2022 declined by 1.9% y-o-y to RUB 9,793 mln. Gross profit margin decreased by 0.8 p.p. y-o-y to 38.8% 
primarily due to a rise in personnel costs because of business expansion associated with the launch of MD Group Lakhta and 
Tyumen-2. 

Impact of key expenses 

In the reporting period, the Company's key expenses remained tightly controlled and slightly increased by 1.4 p.p. y-o-y as a 
percentage of revenue (to 63.1%) amid the growth of personnel costs and functional expenses. 

The share of personnel costs grew by 2.4 p.p. y-o-y as a percentage of revenue (to 40.2%) mainly due to a decline in COVID-
19 diagnostic and treatment services (resulting from a higher share of fixed costs) and the opening of new facilities (MD Group 
Lakhta and Tyumen-2) and their gradual ramp-up to design capacity. 

The share of materials expenses decreased by 1.8 p.p. y-o-y as a percentage of revenue (to 20.3%) on the back of a reduction 
in material-intensive services in the Company's portfolio, including therapy related to COVID-19. 

The share of medical services expenses declined by 0.1 p.p. y-o-y as a percentage of revenue (to 1.2%) due to the gradual 
vertical integration of business processes, including the opening of the Company’s own laboratory and data processing centre. 

The share of functional expenses increased by 0.2 p.p. y-o-y as a percentage of revenue (to 1.3%), driven by the growth in 
marketing expenses amid the Group’s business expansion. 

EBITDA 

EBITDA declined by 4.3% y-o-y and amounted to RUB 7,924 mln in 2022. EBITDA margin decreased by 1.4 p.p. y-o-y to 
31.4% due to a decline in COVID-19 diagnostic and treatment services. 

Operating profit 

Following impairment testing in 2022, the Company recognised impairment of investments made in the previous periods, 
including a one-off RUB 1,000 mln impairment loss on fixed assets of the Ufa clinical hospital (opened in 2014) and a one-off 
RUB 201 mln impairment loss on goodwill of the Novokuznetsk out-patient clinic (acquired in 2015) on the back of an 
unfavourable macro environment. In addition, in the reporting period, the Group recognised a RUB 85 mln impairment of 
previously acquired construction documents due to the change in plans to build a clinic in St. Petersburg. Total impairment 
recognised in 2022 was RUB 1,287 mln. As a result, operating profit dropped by 25.0% y-o-y to RUB 4,969 mln in 2022, with 
an operating profit margin of 19.7%. 

Adjusted net profit 

In 2022, FX loss amounted to RUB 105 mln, with its growth attributable to a 5.3% rouble appreciation against the US dollar as 
compared to the beginning of the year. 

As a result, the Company's adjusted net profit decreased by 1.5% y-o-y to RUB 6,005 mln in 2022. Adjusted net profit margin 
slightly declined by 0.4 p.p. y-o-y to 23.8%.

The Company has historically maintained negative working capital as a source of additional financing. In 2022, working capital 
remained negative at RUB (2,060) mln and amounted to 8.2% of revenue. 

In 2022, operating cash flow decreased by 9.0% y-o-y to RUB 7,734 mln, primarily due to the changes in working capital 
caused by the update of medicine and consumable supply terms as suppliers switched from deferred payment by instalments 
to advance payment. 

Cash used for investing activities, mainly consisting of capital expenditures and and interest income on deposits, amounted to 
RUB 848 mln. 

CAPEX 

Capital expenditure for the full year of 2022 declined by 69.2% y-o-y and stood at RUB 1,169 mln. The significant drop in 
CAPEX in the reporting period was due to macroeconomic uncertainty. The Group’s investment programme has now been 
resumed. 

We will continue to expand the Lapino medical cluster in 2023 and commenced the construction of an 13,175-sq.m Lapino-3 
nuclear medical centre, which will support a full cycle of medical care in oncology. The launch of Lapino-3 will allow for the 
treatment of oncological diseases using PET CT, radiation therapy and theranostics equipment. We are planning to launch 
Lapino-3 in 2025, and we currently estimate the CAPEX of this project to be RUB 4 bln.  

We also plan to open a multifunctional hospital in Domodedovo. The clinical hospital will be built according to the project of 
already launched hospitals in Samara and Tyumen. This hospital will accommodate 164 beds, and our investments will 
approximate RUB 4.5 bln. 

In addition, in Q4 2023, a multifunctional out-patient clinic in the Moscow Citi Business Centre will be put into operation with a 
planned cost of RUB 236 mln. Moreover, at the end of 2023, we plan to launch a multifunctional out-patient clinic in the ZILART 
residential complex with an extimated CAPEX of RUB 78 mln.

In 2022, cash outflows related to financing activities amounted to RUB 5,904 mln vs RUB 5,031 mln in 2021. The 17.4% y-o-y 
increase was due to the distribution of interim dividends to shareholders for H1 2022 in the amount of RUB 642 mln, as well as 
the early repayment of RUB 3,133 mln to the lender. 

Dividends 

On 26 October 2022, the Board of Directors of MD Medical Group approved to pay interim dividends in the amount of 
RUB 642,318,835.50, or RUB 8.55 per ordinary share / GDR for the 6 months 2022. On 29 November 2022, MD Medical 
Group made dividend payment on its GDRs following the results of the 6 months of 2022. The payout ratio is equal to 58.1% 
based on net income according to IFRS.  

As at 31 December 2022, net cash increased by RUB 873 million to RUB 4,463 mln.

The Group's debt decreased by 89.2% y-o-y to RUB 597 mln as at the end of 2022 mainly due to the early repayment of

Moscow hospitals include two business units — the Lapino medical cluster and MD Group hospital. In the reporting period, 
Moscow hospitals account for 51.6% of the Group's total revenue. In 2022, despite macroeconomic shocks, Moscow hospitals 
performed solidly with a slight decrease in revenue by 7.1% to RUB 13,013 mln. In the reporting period, we observed a 
decrease in the number of deliveries in Moscow by 9.5% amid overall downward trend in Russia’s birth rate, which was 
partially offset by a gradual recovery in patient flow and deferred demand for IVF after the COVID-19 pandemic – the number 
of IVF cycles in Moscow hospitals increased by 12.4%. 

The expected decline in the utilisation rate of the Lapino-4 amid the fading pandemic was offset by robust demand for 
treatment unrelated to women’s and children’s healthcare. In particular, we see stable demand in non-core segments, such as 

3 Including RUB 106 mln of short-term lease and RUB 489 mln of long-term lease.   

4 Including RUB 97 mln of short-term lease and RUB 597 mln of long-term lease.

trauma care and cardiology. In accordance with our portfolio diversification strategy, in just two years after launch, Lapino-2 
surgical unit with a focus on oncology generated as much as RUB 2,182 mln in revenue and achieved a 50% utilisation rate 
while maintaining potential for further growth.

The Lapino-1 and MD Medical Group multifunctional hospitals are capable of providing 4,000 IVF cycles and 6,500 deliveries 
per year. In 2022, demand for deliveries (-9.5% y-o-y) dropped in Moscow due to the overall downward trend in Russia’s birth 
rate (-8.2% y-o-y5). This decrease in revenue was partially offset by a 24.4% y-o-y spike in revenue from IVF thanks to the 
post-pandemic demand recovery (+12.4% IVF cycles y-o-y). At the same time, we saw growing demand in areas not related to 
healthcare for women and children, such traumatology and cardiology (the number of in-patient days in traumatology and 
cardiology was up 63.7% and 11.1% y-o-y respectively). This confirms our effective portfolio diversification strategy, which 
enables us to offer an increasingly varied array of medical services to our customers. 

Lapino-2 oncology centre, launched in September 2020, in the reporting period reached revenue of RUB 2,182 mln and 
utilisation rate of 50%, while the facility continues to have significant potential for future growth. For example, in the reporting 
period, we saw increase in demand for oncological surgery (the number of in-patient days was up 59.4%) and 
oncomammology (the number of in-patient days was up 95.4%). In addition, the opening of Lapino-3 with an estimated launch 
date of 2025 will further increase the number of patients in Lapino-2. 

The launch of Lapino-4 in 2021 was dictated by the realities that the COVID-19 pandemic has placed us in. The Group saw 
strong demand for coronavirus treatment and decided to set aside the site for a new hospital. The hospital is able to provide a 
full range of medical services due to its location on the territory of the Lapino medical cluster. For patients with COVID-19, we 
provide high-quality emergency care and delivery in specially designated “red zones”, as well as complex cardiac and 
oncological surgeries. Since 2022, in the context of a slowdown in the pace of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lapino-4 has 
expanded the range of its services and functions as an infectious diseases hospital, focusing on providing medical care to 
patients with infectious diseases, including severe forms of influenza and coronavirus. 

Investment strategy 

Based on expected demand and expertise we have built in oncology, we will continue to expand the Lapino medical cluster in 
2023 and commenced the construction of a 13,175-sq.m. Lapino-3 nuclear medical centre, which will support a full cycle of 
medical care in oncology. The launch of Lapino-3 will allow for the treatment of oncological diseases using PET CT, radiation 
therapy and theranostics equipment. We are planning to launch Lapino-3 in 2025 and currently estimate the CAPEX of this 
project to be RUB 4 bln.  

We also plan to open a multifunctional hospital in Domodedovo. The clinical hospital will be built according to the project of 
already launched hospitals in Samara and Tyumen. This hospital will accommodate 164 beds, and our investments will 
approximate RUB 4.5 bln.

Key events in 2022  

As we plan to expand our operations over the next few years, we will need to attract the best people to our healthcare facilities. 
In this regard, in September 2022, the Group jointly with the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) opened 
MGIMO-Med, a medical university. The MGIMO-Med University was established on the initiative of the governor of the Moscow 
Region, MGIMO and the MD Medical Group in 2021. The educational process is carried out at the sites of the Lapino medical 
cluster, the Odintsovo campus of MGIMO, as well as at sites of our programme partners such as Pirogov Research Medical 
University, the Research Institute of Human Morphology, and the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and 
Microbiology. The 2022 programme includes the General Medicine training of specialists. In the future, the project also will 
cover other levels of training, in particular, residency and additional professional education.  

We believe that we will prepare students on our own base in accordance with the high standards of medical care adopted by 
the MD Medical Group. In cooperation with MGIMO, we have developed a modern educational programme that meets the 
modern needs of the industry. In addition to gaining medical skills, young doctors will already be familiar with our corporate 
culture and the high level of competencies we demand from all of our doctors and nurses.

Out-patient clinics in Moscow and the Moscow region include seven clinics in Moscow, four medical facilities in the Moscow 
region and MD LAB laboratory network. In 2022, clinics account for 10.4% of the Group's total revenue. Throughout the year, 
we saw a gradual recovery of patient flows and deferred demand for IVF after the COVID-19 pandemic. In the reporting period, 
there was a slight decrease (-0.7% y-o-y) in the number of out-patient visits due to a reduction in COVID-19 diagnostic and 
treatment services. As a result, revenue from out-patient clinics in Moscow and the Moscow Region rose by 8.8% y-o-y to 
RUB 2,630 mln.

In 2022, revenues from out-patient clinics in Moscow and the Moscow Region rose by 8.8% y-o- to RUB 2,630 mln. The key 
driver behind revenue pickup was a 5.5% increase in IVF cycles thanks to the post-pandemic recovery of demand. The 
average IVF ticket increased by 7.8%, primarily on the back of indexed prices and an increase in the number of IVF services 
provided using new treatment standards (EmbryoScope).  

A slight 0.7% drop in the number of out-patient visits was caused by reduction in COVID-19 diagnostic and treatment services 
driven by the pandemic slowdown. This was offset by an increase in the average ticket by 3.6% y-o-y mainly due to indexed 
prices. 

Investment strategy 

In 2023, we continue to expand our presence in Moscow and will start building a multifunctional clinic in Moscow Citi business 
complex. The clinic with an approximate area of 1,480 sq.m. will offer a wide range of medical services for women and men, 

Страница 16 из 132 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
such as IVF, functional and ultrasound diagnostics. Services provided to patients will also include medical care for all family 
members, including therapy, genetics, urology, endocrinology, neurology, etc. We currently estimate the CAPEX of this project 
to be RUB 236 mln. 

The clinic will have an estimated annual capacity for up to 800 IVF cycles and more than 74,000 out-patient treatments. Centre 
with an IVF department is designed to serve clients working in Moscow City or living nearby. 

Moreover, at the end of 2023, we plan to launch a multifunctional out-patient clinic in the ZILART residential complex with an 
extimated CAPEX of RUB 78 mln. The clinic with an approximate area of 480 sq.m. will offer a wide range of medical services 
for women and men, including functional and ultrasound diagnostics. The clinic will have an estimated annual capacity for more 
than 48,000 out-patient treatments. 

Key events in 2022 and after reporting date 

We strengthened our market position in Moscow and the Moscow region by opening two new medical centres with a focus on 
antenatal care in Butovo and Mytishchi.  

In June 2022, MD Medical Group opened an out-patient medical centre, Mother & Child Butovo, with a capacity of 30,000 visits 
per year. The total area of the centre is 195 sq.m. Total investments in the project amounted to circa RUB 16 mln. 

In January 2023, the Company opened an out-patient medical centre, Mother & Child Mytishchi, with a capacity of 24,000 visits 
per year. The total area of the centre is 235 sq.m. Total investments in the project amounted to circa RUB 23 mln. 

Both medical facilities offer a wide range of pregnancy and birth preparation services for women, such as diagnosis and 
treatment of infertility, as well as functional and ultrasound diagnostics. In addition, services provided to patients will also 
include medical care for men, including ultrasound, endocrinology and therapy. 

The medical centres were implemented in accordance with the successful business model of the out-patient centre 
"Mother&Child Odintsovo" launched in 2016. The new centres will allow to further increase the number of patients in the 
Group's existing medical facilities by referring clients to the Company's clinics and hospitals. 

In December 2021, MDMG launched its own network of laboratory test collection points under the MD LAB brand in Moscow. 
During 2022, the MD LAB expanded its presence in Moscow and also opened two more collection points.

Regional segment include six clinical hospitals located in Novosibirsk, Samara, Ufa, St. Petersburg and Tyumen. In the 
reporting period, hospitals in regions account for 25.8% (+2.8 p.p. y-o-y) of the Group's total revenue. In 2022, regional medical 
facilities demonstrated strong operating performance across the whole network in Russia – revenue of the Group’s regional 
hospitals increased by 12.1% y-o-y to RUB 6,506 mln. The Group continues to diversify its geographical footprint: during the 
year, we launched two clinical hospitals in St. Petersburg and Tyumen.

In 2022, regional hospitals’ revenue was up 12.1% y-o-y and reached RUB 6,506 mln, driven mainly by a 17.0% y-o-y surge in 
deliveries, with revenue from this business line up 28.5% y-o-y. A considerable increase in the number of deliveries came on 
the back of Tyumen-1 and Samara-based IDK hospital, gradually progressing towards target capacity (with utilisation rates 
going up 4.4 p.p. y-o-y to 26.8% and 3.8 p.p. y-o-y to 40.6%, respectively) as well as strong results of the new MD Group 
Lakhta hospital in St. Petersburg, which achieved a 18.3% utilisation rate in the reporting period.  

Revenue growth was also significantly fuelled by an increase in the number of in-patient days (up 16.0% y-o-y), with revenue 
rising by 16.0% y-o-y in this segment. The strongest growth in in-patient utilisation rates was seen at clinical hospitals in 
Tyumen and Samara: the IDK multidisciplinary hospital in Samara reached a utilisation rate of 71.8%, while Avicenna hospital 
in Novosibirsk hit a 67.2% utilisation rate. Meanwhile, our Tyumen medical cluster, which includes the Tyumen-1 
multidisciplinary hospital and Tyumen-2 facility with focus on oncology and therapy (launched in February 2022), achieved a 
34.9% utilisation rate in 2022, still having a significant potential to support the Group’s future growth. 

Investment strategy  

We continue to capitalise on our diversification strategy in terms of pricing, service range and geography: during the year, we 
launched two clinical hospital in St. Petersburg MD Group Lakhta and multifunctional hospital Tyumen-2. 

On 16 March 2022, due to the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic, the MD Medical Lakhta clinical hospital, which had been 
converted into a temporary COVID treatment facility, began operating in its main area of specialisation: healthcare for women 
and children, with a focus on childbirth and gynaecological surgery. The hospital plans to perform up to 3,000 deliveries per 
year. 

Less than a year in operation after MD Group Lakhta was converted back into a clinical hospital with a focus on childbirth and 
gynaecological surgery, the facility achieved an 18.3% utilisation rate in terms of number of deliveries, and we continue to 
increase patient flows. 

The medical cluster in Tyumen includes two multifunctional hospitals: Tyumen-1 and Tyumen-2. The Tyumen-2 hospital was 
initially focused on providing medical care for patients with infectious diseases, including coronavirus. Due to the COVID-19 
slowdown, the Tyumen-2 hospital currently had been converted into a multifunctional hospital specializing in oncology and 
therapy. In addition, the clinical hospital is occupied by infectious boxes that serve as red zones, where we provide intensive 
care to our patients.The Tyumen medical cluster is currently in ramp-up stage and still having a significant potential to support 
the Group’s future growth.

Key events in 2022  

We are continuing to expand our medical network in St. Petersburg, the second largest healthcare market in Russia. In 
January 2022, Group launched a new multidisciplinary clinical hospital MD Group Lakhta in St. Petersburg. The centre 
provides the following high quality medical services – obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, therapy, X-ray and 
laboratory diagnostics. The total area of the centre is 9,000 sq.m. The in-patient facility has 150 beds. Total investment in the 
project amounts to RUB 2 bln. Patient treatment will be treated under the VHI programme, as well as MHI. 

During the pandemic, MD Group Lakhta was temporarily focused on providing medical care to patients with infections, 
including coronavirus. On 16 March 2022, due to the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic, the MD Group Lakhta clinical hospital 
began operating in its main area of specialisation: healthcare for women and children, with a focus on childbirth and 
gynaecological surgery.  

Since 2019, the Tyumen-1 multifunctional clinical hospital has been successfully operating in Tyumen. In that regard, in 
February 2022 we opened the second wing with the focus on providing medical care in oncology and therapy. The total area of 
the centre is 4,750 sq.m. It will have 100 beds, including 12 in the emergency room. Total investments in the project amounted 
to RUB 1 bln. Patient treatment will be carried out under the VHI programme, as well as MHI.

Out-patient clinics in regions include 29 clinics in 24 cities of the Russian Federation. In 2022, clinics account for 12.1% of the 
Group's total revenue. In the reporting period, revenue of the Group’s regional clinics increased by 2.9% y-o-y to 
RUB 3,057 mln. Growth in revenue was mainly due to higher utilisation rate, partly because of the gradual recovery in demand 
for elective medical services after the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the Group continues to diversify its geographical footprint: 
we entered into the Sverdlovsk Region by opening our first out-patient clinic with focus on IVF in Yekaterinburg.

(3.8) 

In 2022, revenues from out-patient clinics in regions increased by 2.9% y-o-y to RUB 3,057 mln. Revenue growth in the 
reporting period was mainly attributable to a 0.9% y-o-y increase in number of out-patient visits thanks to the post-pandemic 
recovery of demand and increase of the respective average check by 7.1%, primarily on the back of indexed prices. 

In 2022, IVF cycles dropped by 3.8% y-o-y mainly due to the suspension of the Novosibirsk Centre for Reproductive Medicine, 
which was closed for renovation. The renovated centre with an annual capacity of 1,000 IVF cycles opened its doors on 

Страница 19 из 132 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
16 June 2022. This slight decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average ticket by 6.6% y-o-y mainly due to 
indexed prices and an growth in the number of IVF services provided using new treatment standards (EmbryoScope). 

On top of that, revenue was positively influenced by a 42.7% y-o-y hike in the number of in-patient days due to the allocation of 
quotas under the MHI programme. 

Key events in 2022  

In June 2022, the Company completed the renovation of the Novosibirsk Centre for Reproductive medicine, acquired under a 
deal with ARTMedGroup in 2016. As part of the reconstruction project, the centre's capacity was increased, medical 
equipment, including embryological equipment, was modernized, and new treatment protocols were introduced. After the 
renovation, the total capacity of the facility has increased to 1,000 IVF cycles per year. The total investment in the project was 
around RUB 23 mln, of which RUB 21.6 mln were allocated for the maintenance and modernisation of the premises, and RUB 
1.3 mln were invested in new modern technical equipment. 

In November 2022, MD Medical Group continued to expand its presence and entered a new location – the Sverdlovsk Region, 
the largest and most dynamically developing region of the Ural Federal District. The new clinic in Yekaterinburg with a total 
area of 434 sq.m. provides a wide range of medical services to all family members, with special attention to the health of 
women and men. The clinic has an annual capacity for up to 400 gynaecological operations, up to 800 IVF cycles, including 
under the MHI programme, and more than 30,000 out-patient treatments.

Independent Auditors’ Report 
To the Shareholders of MD MEDICAL GROUP INVESTMENTS PLC  

Opinion 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of MD MEDICAL GROUP INVESTMENTS PLC (the “Company”) and its 
subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the 
consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then 
ended, and notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated 
financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash 
flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European 
Union (IFRS-EU). 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section 
of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the independence requirements that are relevant to our 
audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Russian Federation and with the International Ethics Standards Board for 
Accountants International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) 
(IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the requirements in the Russian 
Federation and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide 
a basis for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on 
these matters. 

Impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment 

the  year, 

the  Group 

Please refer to the Note 13 and 14 in the consolidated financial statements. 
The key audit matter 
During 
recognized  an 
impairment of the property, plant and equipment of 
one of its cash generating units (the “CGUs”) in the 
amount  of  RUB  1,000,015  thousand  as  well  as  an 
impairment  of  goodwill  relating  to  another  CGU  in 
the amount of RUB 201,034 thousand. 

- 

- 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 
Our audit procedures included: 

assessment of whether the CGUs were appropriately 
determined and evaluation of the methodology applied by 
management in impairment testing  
assessment of appropriateness of key inputs used and 
assumptions applied in forming the discounted cash flows’ 
models, such as estimated revenue and profitability growth, 
by comparing them to historical results and critically 
challenging the forecasted amounts 

We consider the issue as a key audit matter due to 
inherent estimation uncertainty in forecasting future 
cash flows which form the basis for the assessment 
of recoverability and significant management 
judgement involved in determination of the 
recoverable amount. 

We involved our own valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating 
the appropriateness of the weighted-average cost of capital (discount 
rate), CAPEX in post-projection period, long-term growth rate, length 
of the projection period. 

We also assessed the completeness and consistency of the 
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements in relation to this 
matter. 

Revenue recognition  

Please refer to the Note 4 in the consolidated financial statements. 
The key audit matter 
Revenue is a material amount consisting of a high 
volume of individually low value transactions. The 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 
Our audit procedures in this area included, among others, the 
following ones.  

Страница 37 из 132 

 
 
 
Group uses special Medialog system to calculate 
revenue, where revenue data is automatically 
transferred therefrom to the accounting system. 
Thus, the Group relies on results of operations 
of these systems. 

The most significant risks of revenue misstatement 
arise due to potential incorrect data on volume and 
value of the services provided. 

We tested general IT controls and application-level controls relevant 
to revenue recognition. We involved our Information risk 
management specialists, who assisted us in performing the following 
procedures: 

- 

- 

- 

to test users’ and administrators’ access rights and 
password setting controls in Medialog 

to test Medialog’s automatic links of tickets issued for the 
provision of services to invoices and payments, including the 
function to link tickets to a particular service contract 

to test that revenue data is accurately transferred from 
Medialog to the accounting system 

We reconciled Medialog data to accounting ledgers. Further we 
reconciled the recognized revenue adjusted for the balances of 
settlements with customers at the beginning and the end of the 
reporting period, with the amounts of payments recorded in the 
accounting system; and reconciled the amounts of payments 
received from customers with external bank confirmations. We also 
obtained confirmation letters from debtors (legal entities) on a 
sample basis to confirm balances and turnover. 

In addition, we analyzed the revenue structure, its’ key trends and 
correlations. 

Other Information 

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management Report, the Directors’ 
Responsibility Statement and the Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors’ 
report thereon. 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of 
assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in 
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our 
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are 
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the consolidated Financial Statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance 
with IFRS-EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated 
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as 
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting 
unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will 
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of these consolidated financial statements. 

Страница 38 из 132 

 
 
 
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 
throughout the audit. We also: 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is 
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control 

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s 
internal control 

  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related 

disclosures made by management 

  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the 

audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant 
doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are 
required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if 
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up 
to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a 
going concern 

  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the 

disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation 

  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities 

within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, 
supervision and performance of the group audit.  We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.  

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to 
bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. 
We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or 
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication.

2.   Basis of preparation 
(a) Statement of compliance 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU). 

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and were authorised for issue on 
31 March 2023. 

(b) Basis of measurement 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

(c) Functional and presentation currency 
All of the operational Group entities are located in the Russian Federation. The Company and all its operating subsidiaries 
have RUB as their functional currency. 

These consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in RUB, all amounts have been rounded to the nearest 
thousand, unless otherwise indicated. 

(d) Use of estimates and judgements 
Preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs requires management to exercise their judgement 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities, income and expenses. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are deemed 
reasonable based on knowledge available at that time. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed and where necessary revised on an ongoing basis. 

Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively. 

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies 
that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the consolidated financial statements are described below: 

Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment 

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at acquisition cost and are amortised on a straight 
line basis over their useful economic life. Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment that are acquired through a 
business combination are initially recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are reviewed for impairment at least annually. 

The impairment test is performed using the discounted cash flows expected to be generated through the use of the intangible 
assets and property, plant and equipment, using a discount rate that reflects the current market estimations and the risks 
associated with the asset. When it is impractical to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset, the Group estimates the 
recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment of goodwill 

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units of the Group 
to which the goodwill has been allocated. 

Other 

Information about judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties regarding revenue recognition, deferred taxes assets, 
provisions, leases and ECL allowance for trade receivables and contract assets as at 31 December 2022 is described in 
Note 3. 

The significant judgements made by the management in applying the Group accounting policies and the key sources of 
estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 
31 December 2021 except for those reflected in Notes 13, 14. 

Страница 48 из 132 

 
 
3.   Significant accounting policies 
The accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the Group’s 
consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021 and for the year then ended. 

New standards and amendments applied for the first time in 2022 did not impact these consolidated financial statements of the 
Group. 

Basis of consolidation 
These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the 
Company (its subsidiaries). The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements 
of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date 
on which control ceases. 

The financial statements of all the Group companies are prepared using uniform accounting policies. 

Business combinations 
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The 
consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any 
goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss 
immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. 

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts 
are generally recognised in profit or loss. 

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent 
consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement 
is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and 
subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. 

Acquisitions from entities under common control 

Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls 
the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, 
if later, at the date that common control was established or, if later, at the date the Company was incorporated. The assets and 
liabilities acquired are recognised at their book values. Any difference between the consideration paid and the book values is 
recognised directly in equity. 

Non-controlling interests 

Non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets at the date of 
acquisition. 

Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. 

Loss of control 

When the Group losses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related 
non-controlling interest and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest 
retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. 

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no 
evidence of impairment. 

Revenue 
The Group has two main types of revenue: rendering of services and sales of goods. 

Revenue is recognised in the moment when the service is provided to the customer. Determining the timing of the services 
rendering – at a point in time or over time – requires judgement. The details are described below. 

Страница 49 из 132 

 
 
 
Type of product/service 
Rendering of services (except storage of stem cells and long 
term contracts described below) 

Sales of goods 

Storage of stem cells 

Rendering of services (long-term contracts) 

Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance 
obligations, significant payment terms 
Sales of services are recognised at point in time in which the 
services are rendered by reference to completion of the 
actual service provided. Payments from patients for 
agreements are usually fully prepaid, one-off services are 
paid right after the service is rendered. Mandatory Health 
Insurance (MHI), insurance and other companies usually 
pay in up to two months after the services are provided. 

Sales of goods are recognised when control over the goods 
has been transferred to the customer, which is usually when 
the Group has sold or delivered goods to the customer, the 
customer has accepted the goods and collectability of the 
related receivable is reasonably assured. The payments are 
usually made at the moment of sale. 

Nature of service is long-term safekeeping of biological 
materials comprising stem cells concentrate. Standard terms 
of contract include predetermined period of contract from 1 
to 30 years paid in advance by the customer in full amount. 
Revenue from contract consists of two parts – revenue from 
blood collection and stem cells isolation (charged and 
recognised at the moment of the appropriate services 
rendered) and revenue from storage of stem cells. Revenue 
from storage is accrued monthly during the whole period of 
contract. 

Long-term contracts for offering medical services that last 
from 1 to 5 years with performance obligations satisfied via 
passage of time. Payments from legal entities are usually 
fully prepaid. Revenue is accrued monthly during the whole 
period of contract. 

Finance income 
Finance income includes: 

 

 

interest income which is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss using the effective interest method 

income from initial recognition of other payables to tax authorities at a market interest rate 

Finance expenses 
Finance expenses include interest expense and other borrowing costs and are recognised in profit or loss using the effective 
interest method. 

The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected 
life of the financial instrument to: 

 

 

the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, or 

the amortised cost of the financial liability 

In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset 
(when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become 
credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the 
amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer creditimpaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to 
the gross basis. 

Страница 50 из 132 

 
 
 
Foreign currency translation 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at 
year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. 

Tax 
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in profit or loss 
because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that 
are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted at the reporting date. 

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and 
the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the statement of financial 
position method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets 
are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary 
differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or 
from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects 
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, 
and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is 
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset 
realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to 
other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income or 
equity. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its 
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

Dividends declared 
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised in the Group's financial statements when the shareholders’ 
right to receive the dividends is established, either through Board resolution (for interim dividends) or by the Group’s 
shareholders in the Annual General Meeting (for final dividends). 

Government grants 
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached 
conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is deducted in reporting from the related 
expense. When the grant relates to an asset, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset. The grant is then recognised in profit 
or loss over the useful life of the depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation charge. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Properties in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, 
are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing 
costs capitalised in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other 
property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. 

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on the straight line method over the useful lives of each part of an item of property, 
plant and equipment.  

Страница 51 из 132 

 
 
 
 
 
 
The annual depreciation rates for the current and comparative periods are based on the following estimations of useful lives: 

Freehold buildings 
Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 

No depreciation is provided on land. 

Years 
50 
10-20 
5-10 

Assets under construction are not depreciated until they are completed and available for use. At that moment they are 
reclassified in the relevant class of property, plant and equipment and depreciated accordingly. 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date. 

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is impaired immediately to 
its recoverable amount. 

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss for the year in which it is 
incurred. The cost of major renovations and other subsequent expenditure is included in the carrying amount of the asset when 
it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset 
will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to 
arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant 
and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Intangible assets  
(i) Goodwill 
Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of an acquisition and the fair value of the Group's share of the net 
identifiable assets of the acquired undertaking at the date of acquisition. Positive goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is 
included in intangible assets. 

The excess of the Group’s interest in the fair value of the new subsidiaries’ net assets over the consideration paid for their 
acquisition (a bargain purchase gain) is recognised in profit or loss in the year of acquisition of the relevant subsidiary. Positive 
goodwill is tested annually for impairment and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the 
disposal of an undertaking include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the undertaking sold. For the purpose of 
impairment testing goodwill is allocated to cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the 
combinations. 

(ii)  Patents and trademarks 
Patents and trademarks are measured initially at purchase cost and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated 
useful lives. Their estimated useful life is from five to seven years. 

(iii) Software and web site costs 
External costs that are directly associated with web site controlled by the Group and that will probably generate economic 
benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are recognised as intangible assets. Subsequently web site costs are carried at cost 
less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Web site costs are amortised using the straight 
line method over their useful lives, not exceeding a period of five years. Amortisation commences when the site is available for 
use and is included within administrative expenses. 

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Gains or losses 
arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.  

Inventories 
Inventories include medicines and medical material and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost is 
determined using the weighted average method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of 
business, less the costs to completion and selling expenses.

Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is 
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be 
made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is 
recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. 

Financial instruments 
Recognition 

The Group recognises financial assets and financial liabilities when, and only when, it becomes a party of the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument. Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are 
originated. 

Classification 

The Group classifies financial assets on the basis of both: the Group`s business model for managing financial assets, as well 
as the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. 

The Group’s financial assets comprise of trade and other receivables, as well as cash and cash equivalents. All of the Group 
financial assets are measured at amortised cost. They are classified as current assets unless the Group has an unconditional 
responsibility to accept deferral of receipt for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date, in which case they are 
classified as non-current assets.  

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: 

 

 

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and 

its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding. 

Financial assets – Business model assessment 

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level 
because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information 
considered includes: 

 

the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether 
management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, 
matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or 
realising cash flows through the sale of the assets; 

  how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management; 

 

the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) 
and how those risks are managed; 

  how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets 

managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and 

 

the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and 
expectations about future sales activity. 

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this 
purpose, consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets. 

Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest 

For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ 
is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding 
during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well 
as a profit margin. 

Страница 53 из 132 

 
 
 
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the 
contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could 
change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, 
the Group considers: 

 

 

contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows 

terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable‑rate features 

  prepayment and extension features; and 

 

terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non‑recourse features) 

A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount 
substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include 
reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or 
premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially 
represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable 
compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is 
insignificant at initial recognition. 

The Group’s financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables and borrowings. They are classified as current liabilities 
unless there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date, in which case 
they are classified as long-term liabilities.  

Initial measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus or minus correspondingly of any directly 
attributable transaction costs. 

Subsequent Measurement 

Financial assets at amortised cost: 

These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced 
by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gain and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any 
gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.  

Trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business and 
are stated after deducting the appropriate allowances for any impairment. 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cash at bank and short-term 
highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk 
of changes in their fair value and are used by the Group in the management of its short term investments. 

Financial liabilities at amortised cost: 

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense 
and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in 
profit or loss.  

Impairment of non-derivative financial assets 

At each balance sheet date the Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at 
amortised cost. 

The loss allowance for financial assets at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss in respondence with a balance sheet 
account reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset. Expected credit losses for counterparties, including banks, are 
determined based on historical data of relevant probability of default and loss given default. Impairment on cash and cash 
equivalents is measured on a 12‑month expected loss basis and reflects the short maturities of the exposures. The Group 
considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties. 

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are 
assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. The Group measures loss allowances at an 
amount equal to lifetime ECLs. 

Страница 54 из 132 

 
 
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when 
estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue 
cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical 
experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward‑looking information. 

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due. 

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in 
full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held). 

Credit-impaired financial assets 

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit‑impaired. A financial 
asset is ‘credit‑impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the 
financial asset have occurred. 

Evidence that a financial asset is credit‑impaired includes the following observable data: 

 

 

 

significant financial difficulty of the debtor; 

it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or 

the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties. 

Write-off 

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a 
financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For individual customers, the Group has a policy of writing off the gross 
carrying amount when the financial asset is 3 years without movements past due based on Russian legislation. For corporate 
customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write‑off based on whether 
there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, 
financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s 
procedures for recovery of amounts due. 

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was 
recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. 

Derecognition of financial assets 

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised 
when: 

 

 

 

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; 

the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full 
without material delay to a third party under a “pass through” arrangement; or 

the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all 
the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of 
the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 

Any interest in such derecognised financial assets that is created or retained by the Group, is recognised as a separate asset 
or liability. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. 

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of 
an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original 
liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or 
loss. 

Changes in cash flows on existing financial liabilities are not considered as modification, if they result from existing contractual 
terms, e.g. changes in fixed interest rates initiated by banks due to changes in the CBR key rate, if the loan contract entitles 

Страница 55 из 132 

 
 
banks to do so and the Group have an option to either accept the revised rate or redeem the loan at par without penalty. The 
Group treats the modification of an interest rate to a current market rate using the guidance on floating-rate financial 
instruments. This means that the effective interest rate is adjusted prospectively. 

Offsetting financial instruments 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial 
position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to 
settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master 
netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated statement of financial 
position. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are 
subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and 
value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). 

Share capital 

Proceeds from the issue of ordinary shares are classified as equity. The difference between the issue price of the shares and 
their nominal value is taken to the share premium account. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised as a deduction from share premium net of any 
tax effect. 

Earnings per share 

The Group presents earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss 
attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, 
adjusted for own shares held. 

Capitalised interest 

Interest expense on borrowed funds used for capital construction projects and the acquisition of property, plant and equipment 
is capitalised provided that the interest expense could have been avoided if the Group had not made capital investments. 
Interest is capitalised only during the period when construction activities are actually in progress and until the resulting 
properties are put into operation. 

Leases 

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if 
the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.  

  Leases in which the Group is a lessee 

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in 
the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand‑alone prices. However, for the leases of property the 
Group has elected not to separate non‑lease components and account for the lease and non‑lease components as a single 
lease component. 

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is 
initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or 
before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the 
underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of 
the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the 
cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case, the right-of-use asset will be 
depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and 

Страница 56 из 132 

 
 
equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain 
remeasurements of the lease liability. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, 
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental 
borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. 

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and 
makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: 

 

 

fixed payments, including in‑substance fixed payments; 

variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 
commencement date; 

  amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and 

 

the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an 
optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early 
termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. 

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in 
future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount 
expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a 
purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in‑substance fixed lease payment. 

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the 
right‑of‑use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right‑of‑use asset has been reduced to zero. 

The Group presents right‑of‑use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and equipment’ 
and lease liabilities in ‘loans and borrowings’ in the consolidated statement of financial position. 

  Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term 
leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. 

  COVID-19-related rent concessions 

The Group has applied COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions - Amendment to IFRS 16. The Group applies the practical 
expedient allowing it not to assess whether eligible rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic 
are lease modifications. The Group applies the practical expedient consistently to contracts with similar characteristics and in 
similar circumstances. For rent concessions in leases to which the Group chooses not to apply the practical expedient, or that 
do not qualify for the practical expedient, the Group assesses whether there is a lease modification. 

  Leases in which the Group is a lessor 

The Group does not have significant contracts where it is a lessor. 

Standards issued but not yet effective: 

The following new and amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial 
statements. 

 

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts 

  Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) 

  Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)

Disaggregation of revenue 
The Group renders the services on the territory of the Russian Federation. The Group’s operations and main revenue streams 
are those described in the table above. 

The majority of the Group's customers are physical persons (76% of total revenue); some services are rendered through the 
governmental and non-governmental insurance companies and legal entities. All the contracts are fixed-price and short-term 
except for the contracts for the storage of stem cells and the contract for offering medical services to a significant corporate 
client, such contracts are fully prepaid. 

All the Group's revenue except for the revenue from the storage of stem cells and long-term contracts is recognised at the point 
of time when the services are provided; the revenue from the storage of stem cells and long-term contracts is recognised over 
the time of the contract. 

The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from patients. The amount of RUB 808,532 
thousand was recognised in short-term contract liabilities at the beginning of the year was recognised as revenue during the 
year ended 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: RUB 717,705 thousand). The amount of RUB 60,529 thousand was 
returned to the patients and the amount of RUB 197,295 thousand was transferred to the other contracts during the year ended 
31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: RUB 67,932 thousand and RUB 271,001 thousand respectively).

The number of employees as at 31 December 2022 was 8,466 (31 December 2021: 8,461). 

During the year ended 31 December 2022 the Group did not receive any government grants to cover the additional payroll 
costs paid to doctors and other medical staff as a result of COVID-19 (for the year ended 31 December 2021: RUB 4,526 
thousand, which reduced the staff costs accordingly). 

8.   Other income and expenses 
During the year ended 31 December 2022 the Group received other income of RUB 36,141 thousand including income from 
fixed assets sale amounted to RUB 21,103 thousand. (During the year ended 31 December 2021 the Group received other 
income of RUB 104,424 thousand including a property tax refund amounted to RUB 44,966 thousand by MD Project 2010).  

The Group incurred other expenses amounted to RUB 60,510 thousand in the reporting year. (During 2021 the Group incurred 
other expenses amounted to RUB 68,007 thousand, including write-off of fixed assets amounted to RUB 26,753 thousand).

All Group companies, that are offering medical services and are operating in the Russian Federation and meet the conditions 
specified in the Federal law 395-N, apply 0% corporate income tax rate. Other companies apply standard income tax rate of 
20% or 15%. 

As at 31 December 2022 deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward in the amount of RUB 396,256 thousand 
(31 December 2021: RUB 333,285 thousand) have not been recognised. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in 
respect of these tax losses because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available for utilisation against the 
benefits therefrom. 

As at 31 December 2022, there were temporary differences (before calculating tax effect) of RUB 11,486,136 thousand 
(31 December 2021: RUB 9,965,811 thousand) related to investments in subsidiaries. Deferred tax liabilities related to these 
temporary differences were not recognised because the Group controls the dividend policy of its subsidiaries and, therefore, 
controls the timing of reversal of the related taxable temporary differences and management is satisfied that they will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future.

Impairment loss of Ufa hospital’s property, plant and equipment 
As at 30 June 2022, due to macroeconomic conditions, such as a deterioration in general economic situation, and excessive 
capacity, the Group performed an impairment test with respect to property, plant and equipment of the regional hospital of LLC 
MD PROJECT 2010 located in Ufa, representing a separate CGU. 

The recoverable amount of this CGU was based on its value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be 
generated from the continuing use of the CGU. The carrying amount of the CGU (RUB 2,936,892 thousand) exceeded its 
recoverable amount (RUB 1,936,877 thousand) and an impairment loss of RUB 1,000,015 thousand was (the year ended 
31 December 2021: nil). The impairment loss was allocated to property, plant and equipment. 

The recoverable amount was estimated based on the value in use, which was determined using a pre-tax discount rate of 
17.5% and a terminal growth rate of 4% applied after the 5.5-year projection period. 

The discount rate was based on the rate of 10-year bonds issued by the Russian government, adjusted for a risk premium to 
reflect both the increased risk of investing in equities generally and the systematic risk of the specific CGU.  

The long-term growth rate into perpetuity has been determined as the lower of the nominal gross domestic product (GDP) rates 
for Russia, where the CGU operates, and the long-term compound annual EBITDA growth rate estimated by management. 

Estimated EBITDA was based on expectations of future outcomes taking into account past experience, whereas the EBITDA 
margin amounted to 20.4%-23.2% further adjusted for anticipated annual revenue growth of 4%-6.8%. Revenue growth was 
projected taking into account the estimated utilization and price growth for the next five years. 

Once the impairment loss was recognised, the recoverable amount equaled the carrying amount. Therefore, any adverse 
movement in a key assumption would lead to further impairment.  

As at 31 December 2022 the Group considered whether there were indicators of additional impairment or reversal thereof and 
concluded that there were none. 

Impairment loss of construction documentation in Saint-Petersburg 
During the reporting period the Group recognized an impairment of previously acquired construction documentation in the 
amount of RUB 85,525 thousand as the Group revised its plans on construction of a clinic in Saint-Petersburg that made the 
documentation no longer usable (During the year ended 31 December 2021: nil). The impairment loss was allocated to 
construction in progress. 

Impairment testing of other CGUs 
On 30 June 2022 the Group performed impairment tests for all CGUs with a goodwill (see Note 14), as well as considered 
whether the changes in the economic environment represents impairment indicators for other CGUs. The testing was 

Страница 62 из 132 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
performed for a number of CGUs. No additional impairment loss was identified. No reasonably possible change in key 
assumptions will cause an impairment. 

As a result the Group did not recignise any additional impairment other than mentioned above. 

Construction in progress includes machinery and equipment, X-ray equipment, tomographs and other items of property, plant 
and equipment not yet available for use and predominantly relates to the buildings construction through the use of sub-
contractors. 

As at 31 December 2022 construction in progress mainly includes construction costs of Lapino hospital (LLC Khaven) 
amounting to RUB 91,148 thousand and MD Group hospital (JSC MD PROJECT 2000) amounting to RUB 26,746 thousand 
(31 December 2021: MD Lakhta hospital (LLC Khaven) – RUB 1,825,075 thousand and Tyumen-2 hospital (LLC Mother and 
Child Tyumen) – RUB 564,720 thousand).

23.   Financial risk management 
Financial risk factors 
The Group is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: 

  Credit risk 

  Liquidity risk 

  Market risk 

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and supervision of the Company's risk management 
framework. 

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group to set appropriate 
risk limits and controls and monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed 
regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in the Group's activities. 

(i) Credit risk 
Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows 
from financial assets on hand at the reporting date. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group has 
policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and 
monitors on a continuous basis the ageing profile of its receivables. 

Exposure to credit risk 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the 
reporting date was:

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The Group has no 
significant concentration of credit risk regarding trade and other receivables. This fact significantly reduces possible delays and 
other negative consequences that may potentially affect matching the maturity of assets with liabilities. Furthermore, according 
to the internal policy, clients usually pay in advance except for some particular cases. 

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits 

The Group held cash and cash equivalents excluding cash in hand of RUB 4,451,895 thousand as at 31 December 2022 
(31 December 2021: RUB 3,578,216 thousand) which represents its maximum credit exposure on these assets. The Group 
maintains the majority of cash with the bank that is subject to sanctions. No rating from international rating agencies was 
available as at 31 December 2022. In accordance with the Russian rating agency AKRA the rating was ААА(RU).

The cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits were mostly held with bank and financial institution 
counterparties, which were rated Baa3-A1, based on rating agency Moody’s Investors Service ratings 

(ii)  Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially 
enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Group has procedures to minimise such losses including 
maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets.

(iii) Market risk  
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, may affect the Group's 
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. 
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose 
the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on an ongoing basis 
and acts accordingly.  

As at the reporting date the interest rate profile of interest bearing financial instruments was as follows: 

Fixed rate instruments 
Financial assets 
Financial liabilities 

31 December 2022 
RUB'000 

31 December 2021 
RUB'000 

3,561,740

2,966,114 

2,053,166 
(5,513,033) 
(3,459,867) 

The Group does not account for any fixed interest rate instruments at fair value through profit or loss and does not have any 
derivative financial instruments, therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss or 
equity.  

Currency risk 

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency 
risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not 
the Group's functional currency. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures 
primarily with respect to the United States Dollar and the Euro. The Group's management monitors the exchange rate 
fluctuations on an ongoing basis and acts accordingly.

A 10% weakening of the Russian Ruble against the above currencies will result in the increase in profit and equity of RUB 
3,369 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: RUB 63,890 thousand). A 10% strengthening of the Russian 
Ruble would have an opposite impact. 

Capital management 

The Group's objectives in managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to 
provide returns to owners and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return 
capital to owners or issue of new shares. 

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the net debt to equity ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total 
equity. Net debt is calculated as total loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total equity is calculated as 
“equity” shown in the consolidated statement of financial position.

24.   Fair values 
As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 the Group had no significant financial assets or liabilities measured at fair 
value.  

The financial assets of the Group include cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The financial liabilities of 
the Group include loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. The fair value of these financial instruments is classified 
as Level 3 of fair value class hierarchy and is estimated only for disclosure purposes using discounted cash flows taking 
interest rates adequate to the relevant risk. The fair values of the Group's financial assets and liabilities approximate their 
carrying amounts at the reporting date.

25.   Operating environment 
(a) Insurance 
As per current legislation in Russian Federation medical clinics are not required to insure their activities. There is a draft Law 
regarding obligatory insurance of medical clinics as from 2013. The Law has not yet been enacted. At present the Group does 
not insure its operational activities but has obtained insurance cover for some property, plant and equipment. Until the Group 
obtains adequate insurance coverage there is a risk of material adverse effect on operations and statement of financial 
position. 

(b) Russian business environment 
The Group’s operations are primarily located in the Russian Federation. Consequently, the Group is exposed to the economic 
and financial markets of the Russian Federation, which display the characteristics of an emerging market. The legal, tax and 
regulatory frameworks continue development, but are subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes which contribute 
together with other legal and fiscal impediments to the challenges faced by entities operating in the Russian Federation. 

Starting in 2014, the United States of America, the European Union and some other countries have imposed and gradually 
expanded economic sanctions against a number of Russian individuals and legal entities. Since February 2022, after the 
recognition of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and the start of a special military operation in 
Ukraine by the Russian Federation, the above countries have imposed additional tough sanctions against the Government of 
the Russian Federation, as well as large financial institutions, legal entities and individuals in Russia. In addition, restrictions 
were imposed on the supply of various goods and services to Russian enterprises. Also, in the context of the imposed 
sanctions, a number of large international companies from the United States, the European Union and other countries 
discontinued, significantly reduced or suspended their own activities in the Russian Federation, as well as doing business with 
Russian citizens and legal entities.  

Further to the sanctions the London Stock Exchange has suspended the admission to trading of the Group`s instruments on 
3 March 2022.  

In September 2022, partial mobilization was announced in the Russian Federation. Referendums were held in the recognized 
republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions of Ukraine, which resulted in 
incorporation of the territories into the Russian Federation. As a result of these events further sanctions were imposed and 
there is a risk of increasing pressure on the Russian economy. In response to the above , the Government of the Russian 
Federation has introduced a set of measures, which are countersanctions, currency control measures, a number of key interest 
rate decisions and other special economic measures to ensure the security and maintain the stability of the Russian economy. 

The imposition and subsequent strengthening of sanctions and the partial mobilization resulted in elevated economic 
uncertainty, including reduced liquidity and high volatility in the capital markets, volatility of the Rouble exchange rate and the 
key interest rate, a decrease in foreign and domestic direct investments, difficulties in making payments for Russian Eurobond 
issuers, and also a significant reduction in the availability of sources of debt financing. 

In addition, Russian companies have virtually no access to the international stock market, the debt capital market and other 
development opportunities, which may lead to their increased dependence on the governmental support. The Russian 
economy is in the process of adaptation associated with the replacement of retiring export markets, a change in supply 
markets and technologies, as well as changes in logistics, supply and production chains. 

It is difficult to assess the consequences of the imposed and possible additional sanctions as well as partial mobilization, in the 
long term, however, these events can have a significant negative impact on the Russian economy.  

The wave-like nature of the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus infection continues to create additional uncertainty in the 
business environment. 

The Group primarily operates in Russian healthcare system which is subject to a specific regulatory regime and has its own 
peculiarities. A part of the Group’s operations are covered by the Mandatory Health Insurance that require compliance with 
certain requirements. 

Due to the business specifics purchases of medical equipment, medicines and medical consumables are generally not 
sanctioned at the current moment. Therefore the above situation does not negatively influence the business of the Group. The 
Management monitors the situation on the constant basis.   

The consolidated financial statements reflect management’s assessment of the impact of the Russian business environment 
on the operations and the financial position of the Group. The future business environment may differ from management’s 
assessment.

(c) Russian tax environment 
The taxation system in the Russian Federation continues to evolve and is characterised by frequent changes in legislation,

controlling and other interests in the share or loan capital of any company or companies of any nature, but primarily in the

Independent Auditor's Report 
To the Members of MD Medical Group Investments PLC 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Opinion 

We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of the parent company MD Medical Group Investments PLC 
(the ''Company''), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, and the statements of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.  

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the parent company 
MD Medical Group Investments PLC as at 31 December 2022, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year 
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and the 
requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113.  

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the ''Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements'' section of our 
report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' 
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) 
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Cyprus, and we have fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  

Emphasis of Matter 

We draw attention to Note 19 to the financial statements, which describes the operating environment and the impact of conflict 
between Russia and Ukraine. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.  

Key Audit Matters 

In addition to the matter described on Emphasis of Matter paragraph above, we have determined the matters described below 
to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial 
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a 
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Investments in subsidiaries 

Refer to 8 of the separate financial statements (RUB12,860,242 thousand) 
Key audit matter 
The carrying value of the investments in 
subsidiaries amounts for RUB 12,860,242 thousand 
and accounts for more than 89% of the company's 
total assets as at 31 December 2022. 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 
Our audit procedures included among others the following: 

a)  Made inquiries of management regarding the indicators they 
assess as possible indicators of impairment for relevant 
assets/CGUs 

Significant judgement is required by the 
management of the Company in determining 
whether there are any indicators for impairment 
and, where such indications exist, in assessing the 
recoverable amount of the investments. 

We focus on this area because of the significance 
of the carrying amount of the investments in the 
separate financial statements and because inherent 
uncertainty and subjectively is involved in 
forecasting and sicounting future cash flows, which 
are the basis of the assessment of the recoverable 
amount of the investments and hemce thir carrying 

b) 

Inspected management's assessment and consider whether 
further indicators should have been assessed based on our 
knowledge of the business, its operating environment, 
industry knowledge, current market conditions and other 
information obtained during the audit 

c)  Verified the accuracy of management's calculations for those 
assets/CGUs subject to impairment testing and consider 
whether the assets/CGUs tested are completed 

d)  Evaluated the valuation techniques, assumptions and data 
used by management to make their accounting estimates 
used for value in use/fair values less costs of disposalse 

e)  Evaluated the completness, accuracy and relevance of

amount recorded in the separate financial 
statements. 

disclosres required by IAS 36, including disclosures 

Other information 

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 
Management Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance 
conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, 
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the 
audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a 
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the Financial Statements 

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance 
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus 
Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the 
preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a 
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting 
unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but 
to do so. 

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.  

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a 
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or 
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 
financial statements.  

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 
throughout the audit. We also:  

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design 
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for 
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control 

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are

Notes to the financial statements 
For the year ended 31 December 2022 

Incorporation and principal activities 

1.  
MD Medical Group Investments Plc (the “Company”) was incorporated in Cyprus on 5 August 2010 as a private limited liability 
company under the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. The Company is domiciled in Russia. In August 2012, 
following the special resolution passed by the shareholder, the Company was converted into a public limited liability company 
in accordance with the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. Its Registered Office is at Dimitriou Karatasou 15, 
Anastasio Building, 6th floor, office 601, Strovolos, 2024, Nicosia, Cyprus. 

The principal activity of the Company is that of an investment holding company and, for that purpose, to acquire and hold 
controlling and other interests in the share or loan capital of any company or companies of any nature, but primarily in the 
healthcare industry.  

2.   Basis of preparation 
(a) Statement of compliance 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by 
the European Union (IFRS-EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113. 

These are the separate financial statements of the Company. The Company has also prepared consolidated financial 
statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU for the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”). The 
consolidated financial statements are available at 15 Dimitriou Karatasou street, Anastasio Building, 6th floor, office 601, 
Strovolos, 2024 Nicosia, Cyprus. 

Users of these parent's separate financial statements should read them together with the Group's consolidated financial 
statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 in order to obtain a proper understanding of the financial position 
the financial performance and the cash flows of the Company and the Group. 

(b) Basis of measurement 
These reports and financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

(c) Functional and presentation currency 
These reports and financial statements are presented in Russian Rubles (RUB'000) which is the functional currency of the 
Company. Financial information presented in Russian Rubles has been rounded to the nearest thousand except where 
otherwise indicated. 

(d) Use of estimates and judgements 
Preparing these financial statements in accordance with IFRSs requires management to exercise their judgement to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
income and expenses.  

The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are deemed 
reasonable based on knowledge available at that time. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed and where necessary revised on an ongoing basis. Revisions to 
estimates are recognised prospectively. 

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies 
that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described below: 

Impairment of investments in subsidiaries  
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of investments in subsidiaries whenever indicators of impairment are 
present. Indicators of impairment include such items as declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows or material adverse 
changes in the economic or political stability of a particular country, which may indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is 
not recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that investments in subsidiaries may be impaired, the estimated future 
discounted cash flows associated with these subsidiaries would be compared to their carrying amounts to determine if a write 
down to fair value is necessary. As at the reporting date, there were no indicators of impairment. 

Measurement of fair values 
A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and 
non financial assets and liabilities. 

Страница 89 из 132 

 
 
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair 
values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as 
follows: 

Level–1   quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level–2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. 
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 

Level–3   inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the 
fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is 
significant to the entire measurement. 

3.   Significant accounting policies 
The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are consistent with those followed in the Company’s financial 
statements as at 31 December 2021 and for the year then ended. 

New standards and amendments applied for the first time in 2022 did not impact these financial statements of the Company. 

Subsidiary companies 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists where the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable 
returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. 

Investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less provision for impairment in value, which is recognised as an 
expense in the period in which the impairment is identified. 

Dividend income 
Dividend income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the right to receive 
payment is established. 

Revenue 
Revenue represents the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the 
promised services to the customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, value added tax). The 
Company transfers control over its services at a point in time.  

The Company recharges to subsidiaries IT, advertising, call center and other expenses, relating to services that are provided 
by third parties for the benefit of a number of subsidiaries. Recharging is made over time as the services are transferred by 
third parties to subsidiaries on the basis of a cost plus margin arrangement.  

Finance income 
Finance income includes interest income which is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss using the effective interest method. 

Finance expenses 
Finance expenses include bank charges and interest expense. Bank charges are recognised as expenses in the period in 
which they fall due and interest expense is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss using the effective interest method. 

The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected 
life of the financial instrument to: 

 

 

the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or 

the amortised cost of the financial liability 

In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset 
(when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become 
credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the 
amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer creditimpaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to 
the gross basis. 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at 

Страница 90 из 132 

 
 
year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss 
under the category finance income or finance expenses.  

Tax 
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in profit or loss 
because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that 
are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted at the reporting date. 

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and 
the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the statement of financial 
position liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax 
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary 
differences can be utilised.  

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where 
the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset 
realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to 
other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income or 
equity. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its 
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company 
expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.  

Dividends declared 
Interim dividend distributions to the Company's shareholders are recognised as a liability when it is both appropriately 
authorised and no longer at the Company’s discretion (i.e. when the Company has an obligation to pay). Final dividend 
distributions to the Company's shareholders are recognised in the Company's financial statements in the year in which they are 
approved by the Company's shareholder. 

Financial instruments 
Recognition 
The Company recognises financial assets and financial liabilities when, and only when, it becomes a party of the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument. Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are 
originated. 

Classification 
The Company classifies financial assets on the basis of both: the Company`s business model for managing financial assets, as 
well as the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. 

The Company’s financial assets comprise of trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. They are non-
derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and for which there is no 
intention of trading the receivable. All of the Company's financial assets are measured at amortised cost. They are classified as 
current assets unless the Company has an unconditional responsibility to accept deferral of receipt for at least twelve months 
after the balance sheet date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets.  

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: 

 

 

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and 

its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding. 

Страница 91 из 132 

 
 
Financial assets – Business model assessment 
The Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level 
because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information 
considered includes: 

 

the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether 
management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, 
matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or 
realising cash flows through the sale of the assets 

  how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company’s management 

 

the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) 
and how those risks are managed 

  how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets 

managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and 

 

the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and 
expectations about future sales activity 

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this 
purpose, consistent with the Company’s continuing recognition of the assets. 

Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest 
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ 
is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding 
during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well 
as a profit margin. 

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the 
contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could 
change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, 
the Company considers: 

 

 

contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows 

terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features 

  prepayment and extension features; and 

 

terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features) 

A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount 
substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include 
reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or 
premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially 
represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable 
compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is 
insignificant at initial recognition.  

The Company’s financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables. They are classified as current liabilities unless there is 
an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date, in which case they are 
classified as long-term liabilities.  

Initial measurement 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.  

Subsequent measurement 
Financial assets at amortised cost:  

These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced 
by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gain and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any 
gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.  

Страница 92 из 132 

 
 
Trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business and 
are stated after deducting the appropriate allowances for any impairment. 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cash at bank and short term 
highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk 
of changes in their fair value and are used by the Company in the management of its short-term investments. 

Financial liabilities at amortised cost: 

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense 
and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in 
profit or loss. 

Impairment of non-derivative financial assets 
At each balance sheet date the Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets measured 
at amortised cost. 

The loss allowance for financial assets at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss in respondence with a balance sheet 
account reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset. Expected credit losses for counterparties, including banks, are 
determined based on historical data of relevant probability of default and loss given default. Impairment on cash and cash 
equivalents is measured on a 12-month expected loss basis and reflects the short maturities of the exposures. The Company 
considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties. 

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are 
assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. The Company measures loss allowances at an 
amount equal to lifetime ECLs.   

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when 
estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue 
cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical 
experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information. 

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. 

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the 
Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held).  

Credit-impaired financial assets 
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A 
financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows 
of the financial asset have occurred. 

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data: 

 

 

 

significant financial difficulty of the debtor 

it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or 

the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties 

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was 
recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. 

Based on the analysis of the historical data the accounts receivable mainly represents by receivable from related parties and 
no provision is accrued. 

Derecognition of financial assets 
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised 
when: 

 

 

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; 

the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full 
without material delay to a third party under a “pass through” arrangement; or 

Страница 93 из 132 

 
 
 

the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially 
all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards 
of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 

Any interest in such derecognised financial assets that is created or retained by the Company, is recognised as a separate 
asset or liability. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. 

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of 
an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original 
liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or 
loss. 

Offsetting financial instruments 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only 
if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, 
or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and 
the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the statement of financial position. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are 
subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and 
value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). 

Share capital 
Proceeds from the issue of ordinary shares are classified as equity. The difference between the issue price of the shares and 
their nominal value is taken to the share premium account. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised as a deduction from share premium net of any 
tax effect. 

Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is 
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be 
made. Where the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example an insurance contract, the reimbursement is 
recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. 

Comparatives 
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current period. 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid 
investments maturing within 90 days from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are included in liabilities. 

Leases 
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease 
if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.  

  Leases in which the Company is a lessee 

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration 
in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of property the 
Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single 
lease component. 

The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is 
initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or 

Страница 94 из 132 

 
 
before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the 
underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of 
the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or 
the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case, the right-of-use asset 
will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and 
equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain 
remeasurements of the lease liability. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, 
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental 
borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. 

The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources 
and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: 

 

 

fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments 

variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 
commencement date 

  amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, and 

 

the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an 
optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early 
termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early 

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in 
future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount 
expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a 
purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. 

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the 
right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. 

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and 
equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘trade and other payables’ in the statement of financial position. 

  Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-
term leases, including IT equipment. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

  COVID-19-related rent concessions 

The Company has applied COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions - Amendment to IFRS 16. The Company applies the practical 
expedient allowing it not to assess whether eligible rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic 
are lease modifications. The Company applies the practical expedient consistently to contracts with similar characteristics and 
in similar circumstances. For rent concessions in leases to which the Company chooses not to apply the practical expedient, or 
that do not qualify for the practical expedient, the Company assesses whether there is a lease modification. 

  Leases in which the Company is a lessor 

The Company does not have significant contracts where it is a lessor.

The following new and amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial 
statements.

17.   Financial risk management 
Financial risk factor 
The Company is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: 

  Credit risk 

  Liquidity risk 

  Market risk 

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and supervision of the Company's risk management 
framework. 

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company to set 
appropriate risk limits and controls and monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are 
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in the Company's activities. 

(i) Credit risk 
Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows 
from financial assets on hand at the reporting date. Cash balances are held with various financial institutions. 

Exposure to credit risk 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the 
reporting date was:

The Company held cash and cash equivalents excluding cash in hand of RUB 1,397,154 thousand at 31 December 2022 
(31 December 2021: RUB 759,616 thousand) which represents its maximum credit exposure on these assets. The Company 
maintains the majority of cash with the bank that is subject to sanctions. No rating from international rating agencies was 
available as at 31 December 2022. In accordance with the Russian rating agency AKRA the rating was ААА(RU).

(ii)  Liquidity risk  
Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially 
enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Company has procedures to minimise such losses including 
maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets. The following are the contractual maturities of financial 
liabilities including estimated interest payments:

(iii) Market risk 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices may 
affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. 
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates 
expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Company's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on an 
ongoing basis and acts accordingly. 

As at the reporting date the interest rate profile of interest bearing financial instruments was as follows: 

Fixed rate instruments 
Financial assets 
Financial liabilities 

Note

1,316,671 

2021 
RUB'000 
29,000 
(2,724) 
26,276 

The Company does not account for any fixed rate instruments at fair value through profit or loss and does not have any 
derivative financial instruments, therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss or 
equity. 

Currency risk 

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency 
risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not 
the Company's functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures 
primarily with respect to the United States Dollar.  

The Company's management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

Sensitivity analysis 

A 10% stengthening of the Russian Ruble against the above currencies will result in the increase in profit and equity of 
RUB 6,289 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: RUB 72,051 thousand). 

A 10% weakening of the Russian Ruble would have an opposite impact. 

Capital management 

The Company's objectives in managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order 
to provide returns to owners and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, 
return capital to owners or issue of new shares. 

18.   Fair values 
As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 the Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value. 

The fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date. 

19.   Operating environment 
(a) Russian business environment 
The operations of the Company`s subsidiaries are primarily located in the Russian Federation. Consequently, the Company is 
exposed to the economic and financial markets of the Russian Federation, which display the characteristics of an emerging 
market. The legal, tax and regulatory frameworks continue development, but are subject to varying interpretations and frequent 
changes which contribute together with other legal and fiscal impediments to the challenges faced by entities operating in the 
Russian Federation. 

Starting in 2014, the United States of America, the European Union and some other countries have imposed and gradually 
expanded economic sanctions against a number of Russian individuals and legal entities. Since February 2022, after the 
recognition of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and the start of a special military operation in 
Ukraine by the Russian Federation, the above countries have imposed additional tough sanctions against the Government of 
the Russian Federation, as well as large financial institutions, legal entities and individuals in Russia. In addition, restrictions 
were imposed on the supply of various goods and services to Russian enterprises. Also, in the context of the imposed 
sanctions, a number of large international companies from the United States, the European Union and other countries 
discontinued, significantly reduced or suspended their own activities in the Russian Federation, as well as doing business with 
Russian citizens and legal entities.  

Страница 105 из 132 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Further to the sanctions the London Stock Exchange has suspended the admission to trading of the Company's instruments on 
3 March 2022.  

In September 2022, partial mobilization was announced in the Russian Federation. Referendums were held in the recognized 
republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions of Ukraine, which resulted in 
incorporation of the territories into the Russian Federation. As a result of these events further sanctions were imposed and 
there is a risk of increasing pressure on the Russian economy. In response to the above , the Government of the Russian 
Federation has introduced a set of measures, which are countersanctions, currency control measures, a number of key interest 
rate decisions and other special economic measures to ensure the security and maintain the stability of the Russian economy. 

The imposition and subsequent strengthening of sanctions and the partial mobilization resulted in elevated economic 
uncertainty, including reduced liquidity and high volatility in the capital markets, volatility of the Rouble exchange rate and the 
key interest rate, a decrease in foreign and domestic direct investments, difficulties in making payments for Russian Eurobond 
issuers, and also a significant reduction in the availability of sources of debt financing. 

In addition, Russian companies have virtually no access to the international stock market, the debt capital market and other 
development opportunities, which may lead to their increased dependence on the governmental support. The Russian 
economy is in the process of adaptation associated with the replacement of retiring export markets, a change in supply 
markets and technologies, as well as changes in logistics, supply and production chains. 

It is difficult to assess the consequences of the imposed and possible additional sanctions as well as partial mobilization, in the 
long term, however, these events can have a significant negative impact on the Russian economy.  

The wave-like nature of the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus infection continues to create additional uncertainty in the 
business environment. 

The financial statements reflect management’s assessment of the impact of the Russian business environment on the 
operations and the financial position of the Company. The future business environment may differ from management’s 
assessment. 

 (b) Russian tax environment 
The taxation system in the Russian Federation continues to evolve and is characterised by frequent changes in legislation, 
official pronouncements and court decisions, which are sometimes contradictory and subject to varying interpretation by 
different tax authorities. The tax authorities have the power to impose fines and penalties for tax arrears. A tax year is generally 
open for review by the tax authorities during three subsequent calendar years. Currently the tax authorities are taking a more 
assertive and substance-based approach to their interpretation and enforcement of tax legislation. 

20.   Events after the reporting period 
No significant events occurred after the reporting period.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 

Our focus on caring expands far beyond the daily business operations of our clinics and hospitals. As a responsible corporate 
citizen, the Group aims to regularly contribute to the communities of medical professionals, local patients and people in need, 
by utilising its resources, time and expertise. 

Our Mission 
Our deep commitment to CSR is not just a requirement for a major listed company and employer. Rather, it reflects our strong 
belief that creating value for our stakeholders is critical for the long-term sustainable growth of MD Medical Group. 

Our People 
We invest heavily in training and educating our staff, creating opportunities for them to learn from the best medical practitioners 
in the world. Many of them have worked with the Group since its creation, and we recognise and reward this dedication 
by creating an environment that encourages professional and personal growth. 

Our Profession 
Above all, we recognise that one of the most important roles we can play as a leading healthcare company in Russia 
is to contribute our resources, time, expertise and know-how to raise the overall standard of the healthcare profession 
in Russia. We regularly hold open-access webinars for doctors and patients across the country where we address key issues 
in women’s and children’s health, thereby helping to raise the quality of medical services provided to patients all 
over the country. 

Our Technology 
We aim to maximise efficiency and minimise patient stress by constantly updating our technology and using the most 
innovative procedures. For example, several years ago the Company started performing foetal surgery to correct spina bifida 
during pregnancy while the baby is inside the womb. We also use endovascular methods to correct congenital heart defects 
of newborns. 

Our Communities 
As we continuously expand our network throughout Russia and often bring unique services to new regions, we not only provide 
people with high-quality and easily accessible healthcare but also encourage every employee to contribute to their own 
communities. 

Key CSR activities in 2022 
Educational events 
Multiple conferences and master classes for held for our employees in 2022. These were held at the MDMG hospitals 
and other locations. Among others, such conferences were held in Lapino, Ufa, Samara and Volgograd. Fertility doctors, 
gynecologists and regional specialists came together to exchange knowledge and experience, further building on the expertise 
of our staff. 

Charity events 
We constantly support various organisations that help children with special needs. The Samara hospital regularly provides 
financial help to the Samara hospice and the local association of doctors.  In 2022, in particular, the clinical hospital 
‘AVICENNA’ continued its diverse charitable work in the Novosibirsk Region. This work included benefactor work with the 
Novosibirsk City Public Organisation for families with children with disabilities ‘Ray of Light’. In addition, ‘AVICENNA’ has been 
an important partner for a concert series for pregnant women, ‘Waiting for a Miracle’of the Novosibirsk State Philharmonic. This 
event is aimed at popularising the topic of motherhood and the importance of musical culture in the upbringing of the younger 
generation. 

Annual Christmas and New Year events 
Traditionally, on the eve of the New Year and Christmas, we organise various events for children. Last year was no exception, 
with a Christmas tree and sweet gifts waiting for our little patients. Additionally, we usually organise a Wish Tree, in which 
the Group and its employees collect gifts for children with disabilities across various regions. This year, the clinical hospital 
“AVICENNA” provided donations for the purchasing of New Year’s gifts for struggling families in the villages of Beloborodovo 

Страница 107 из 132 

 
 
and Vakhrushevo in the Novosibirsk Regions. On 28 December, a New Year's performance was held, where Santa Claus and 
Snow Maiden gave gifts to the children. 

Donor’s Day in Ufa 
Donor’s Day in March 2022 in the MDMG Ufa. Together with the blood service of the Republic of Bashkortostan, an action 
was held in the hospital. More than 100 people volunteered and donated blood. 

Sustainable development 

Sustainable development at MD Medical Group goes beyond individual activities.  

It is an organisation-wide culture that reflects the fundamental identity of MD Medical Group as both innovative and socially 
responsible. 

Since 2017, sustainable development has had its own section of the Annual Report and is prepared in accordance 
with the GRI Standards 2021 (Core option) and the 2014/95/EU directive. Here we outline key benchmarks and activity results 
of our hospitals and clinics in sustainable development, with a focus on their social and environmental performance. 

The key indicators we track each year are electricity use, heating, and water consumption. The information provided in this 
section covers the period 1 January to 31 December 2022. 

The clinics and hospitals that contributed information to this sustainability report did so according to the IFRS 10 requirements 
unless stated otherwise. 

Identifying material topics 
Material topics were identified for the previous year’s annual report in a robust, coherent manner, and the same approach 
was taken with regards to the MD Medical Group’s Annual Report 2022. Benchmarking against major companies 
in the industry has upheld this approach. As a result, the matrix of material topics utilised in 2021 was continued in 2022. 

The material topics that feature in this graph are disclosed in the sustainable development section and are referred 
to elsewhere within the Annual Report 2022. The sustainable development section discloses one material topic, Quality 
of Service Provision, that is not covered by the GRI Standards but is considered essential at MD Medical Group. Both internal 
and external stakeholders identified this topic as highly important since it reflects the level of customer satisfaction. 

Ensuring patients receive the highest quality of care is a key priority for MD Medical Group. Therefore, the report discloses 
several indicators that MD Medical Group included in its previous Annual Reports, including Development and extension 
of the list of services (MD1), Annual capacity of the hospitals (MD2), Development of hi-tech medical care (MD3), Highly-
qualified personnel (MD4), Dialogue with patients (MD5). 

Interaction with stakeholders 
All MD Medical Group business functions were analysed to identify key stakeholders for this Annual Report. Medical health 
care practices were benchmarked, and the Company’s internal and external impacts were evaluated. The following stakeholder 
list, as defined in previous annual reports, continues to apply:  

  Patients and their families  

  Employees  

  Suppliers  

  Shareholders and investors  

  Government authorities  

In addition, MD Medical Group adds the following category of stakeholder, whose interests are broadly aligned with those of 
the other two stakeholder groups – patients and authorities:  

 

Insurers.  

MD Medical Group regularly interacts with all stakeholders to improve the effectiveness of its business activities and to ensure 
the quality of provided services is under constant scrutiny.

We pay special attention to increasing the accessibility of clinics. All of our new facilities are being built as a barrier-free 
environment. There are no steps or other obstacles that hinder movement. Older facilities, which were not originally built 
with these principles in mind, have been upgraded to provide easier access for people with reduced mobility. In addition, all 
the clinics and hospitals of MD Medical Group are equipped with Braille signs. 

To increase the financial availability of our services, we work both on a commercial basis and under the programme 
of Mandatory Health Insurance (MHI). Medical assistance under the MHI programme is provided in 44 clinics, including 9 in-
patient clinical hospitals providing high-tech medical care. 

In 2022, 167,428 patients were treated under the MHI programme. Infertility is also treated with the help of assisted 
reproductive technologies (IVF) under the MHI programme. In 2022, 12,994 patients underwent IVF cycles within this 
framework. 

In 2022, our oncological clinics received additional support from the MHI Fund. In total, 13,226 patients received treatment 
for cancer under the MHI programmes. 

We constantly update our equipment and improve the skills of our personnel so that our patients receive the best treatment. 
In 2022, we achieved this through several different means. Firstly, we optimised the methodology used for recording laboratory 
tests, resulting in significantly increased accuracy and speed of data processing. In addition, we are always looking to improve 
the expertise of our staff. More detailed information on this can be found in the section on ‘Our People’. Today, as all of our 
hospitals are developed as large multifunctional centres, we continue to introduce advanced treatments for patients of all ages 
in various fields of medicine. 

Patient engagement 

To increase patient engagement, we are using Digital Medical Operations (Doctis) telemedicine consultation platform. 
As of January 2023, more than 1,500 doctors were connected to Doctis. The online format has stayed popular even after 
changes to consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing patients to stay in touch with their doctors. The introduction 
of telemedicine consultations, among other things, made it possible to provide some medical services remotely, e.g., 
to patients planning IVF cycles. 

As a medical provider, we understand that patient engagement plays a critical role in improving health outcomes and 
enhancing the overall patient experience. We believe that patient engagement is a key driver of quality healthcare, and we are 
committed to promoting it across all aspects of our organisation. In 2022, we managed to improve our systems of patient 
engagement though: 

  Establishing a full-fledged exchange of information about patients obtained through telemedicine 

 

Improving our system of work with patients, including conducting mass surveys and questionnaires 

  Strengthening the work of the call centre by optimising its headcount, providing ongoing training and establishing key 

performance indicators to be used by staff 

MD Medical Group continues to take a data-driven approach to its 
website, constantly reviewing it for changes that can be made 
and improvements that can positively impact user experience. 
A comprehensive approach is taken to assessing and responding 
to patient feedback, ensuring all internal parties are involved. 

Feedback mechanisms that monitor patients’ perception 
of the quality of service provided by MD Medical Group have been 
in place since 2017. Central to this is the customer satisfaction 
score (CSAT) for consultations over the telephone and hotline 
performance, which seeks customer input on: 

  Speed and convenience of a consultation 

  Completeness and comprehensiveness 

  Politeness of an employee during a consultation 

These indicators are recorded and analysed regularly, as a patient 
might leave their feedback at any stage of a consultation process. 

Страница 110 из 132 

 
 
Patients can also use the hotline to share their feedback on services received at MD Medical Group, by filling out a form 
on the website, sending an email to quality@mcclinics.ru or via the contact centre. 

In 2020, MD Medical Group rolled out the strategy that underpins our robust and responsive feedback and enquiry processing 
system. The successful achievement of key strategy goals has been maintained from previous year, with patient 
communication improving year-to-year.

As an employer, MD Medical Group prioritises further professional development for all its employees. Key company values 
such as transparency, innovation and adherence to best practices in the real world mean that we carry out regular training 
sessions for employees in clinics across the country. These training sessions help ensure that at each MD Medical Group 
location, patients and staff can expect the same high-quality level of operation. 

We are always striving to improve an already exceptional level of knowledge that our doctors and other staff have. All 
the training and courses are fully paid for by the Company. 

Over the last ten years, our physicians have completed residency training in OBGYN, neonatology and oncology. Competition 
for residency training is widely announced each year, resulting in more than 100 applications from participants across all 
country regions. The competition takes place in several stages; the finalists are carefully selected and trained at the clinical 
facilities of the Lapino Central Hospital and the MD Medical Group Central Hospital. 

In 2022, nine participants won the competition and entered the programme, and five participants graduated. Upon completion 
of their residency, doctors are employed by the Group’s clinics and hospitals, including those in the regions. In this way, 
by training doctors from their student benches, we maintain continuity in the level of qualification and quality of medical care 
inherent in the Group. 

Continuous training and professional development of doctors and nursing staff take place both offline and online. On a regular 
basis throughout the year, leading specialists give lectures to doctors, share their experience and highlight current trends 
in medicine. 

At MD Medical Group, staff are encouraged to learn from each other. In 2022, among our training programmes we have 
provided staff with: 

Страница 114 из 132 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  7 lectures for nurses with more than 250 participants each, on the topics of professional errors and responsibilities of 

the nursing staff, conducting sterilisation work according to new sanitary regulations, early rehabilitation of patients, 
observation and monitoring of patients with arterial hypertension, amongst others 

  2 offline conferences for nurses on the hospital grounds in Novosibirsk 

  45 lectures for doctors on OBGYN, reproductive medicine, surgery, oncology and other areas 

  Online conference for all Group clinics and hospitals with the participation of Michel Oden, on the topic of ‘Careful 

Health’ 

  2 offline conferences in the Lapino Clinical Hospital, a conference of the Moscow Society of Geneticists and a 

conference on ‘Laboratory trends in reproduction. The art of choosing the best’ 

  Ffull-time training course with master classes (14 days) on ultrasound diagnostics in obstetrics, in the MD Medical 

Group Clinical Hospital 

  11 offline conferences on current issues in reproductive medicine at the Ufa Clinical Hospitals 

  Several international scientific and practical conferences on OBGYN, urology, paediatrics, including the international 
annual scientific-practical conference ‘Controversial issues of Reproductive Medicine: Polycystic ovary syndrome 
(PCOS)’ 

  Masterclasses in hospitals on OBGYN, reproductive medicine and surgery, including topics like laparoscopic treatment 

of diastasis recti and surgical tactics during cesarean sections 

  Several All-Russian scientific-practical conferences held at the Samara sites on diverse topics, including: legal and 

clinical aspects of pregnancy management, working with patients in the embryological laboratory and more 

  4 offline conferences at the St. Petersburg hospital grounds on placenta accreta in the scar on the uterus after 

cesarean section, integration conference of perinatal specialists ‘Natural childbirth’ and more 

In addition, MD Medical Group provided: 

  Career development courses 

  Short-term advanced thematic training 

 

Interaction between healthcare professionals in Moscow and those in other regions to ensure a consistently high 
quality of care at all MD Medical Group facilities 

  Participation in international forums, conferences, exhibitions, where possible, and training centre support for improving 

soft skills and knowledge acquisition across different areas and competencies 

Human resource changes 

MD Medical Group is always looking to ensure that its HR policies and processes are kept up to date with best practices, and 
are improved year-to-year. The Company maintains several targets related to the topic of human resources; these include: 

  Ensuring the enterprise has personnel considering the prospects for further development 

  Formation and development of a reserve of top doctors (personnel potential) 

  Development and implementation of proprietary personnel training programmes to improve their qualifications (training 

for medical and administrative personnel) 

  Regulation of working conditions in accordance with market needs, optimising staff motivation and ensuring retention 

of professionals 

  Development and maintenance of effective communication systems between management and other employees, 

departments and divisions 

Several changes to the personnel management structure were implemented during the reporting period. One of these 
consisted of the creation of four deputies within the management structure, allocated based on scope of activity. Such deputies 
were assigned to the Medical Director, the Operations Director, the Financial Director and to the CEO. 

Страница 115 из 132 

 
 
The client service area of personnel management was transitioned towards a medical department structure, allowing the Group 
to expand this area and to provide more comprehensive support. Alongside this transition, MD Medical Group has begun to 
shift IT services to outsourcing, freeing up resources and gaining exposure to IT talent. 

Building on targets set in the previous reporting year, we have managed to successfully improve our HR processes. This was 
done alongside the Group hospital additions in Lakhta and Tyumen-2, as well as clinics in Butovo, Mytishchi and 
Yekaterinburg. 

In 2022, we increased the number of areas in our residency programme, including OBGYN, oncology, anaesthesiology, 
surgery and therapy. Additionally, the Group successfully centralised its distance learning programmes in nurse training 
and OBGYN. 

The Continuous Medical Education (CME) programme includes the centralisation of programmes and educational institutions 
for distance learning in the following areas: obstetrics, pediatrics, ultrasound diagnosis, neonatology, general medical practice, 
therapy, allergology and immunology, dermatology and venereology and endocrinology. These topic areas are being 
developed with the participation of employees of the MD Medical Group. 

MD Medical Group is constantly seeking to continue offering various opportunities for professional development and acquisition 
of relevant knowledge and qualifications. We are aiming to provide: 

  More than 14 lectures for doctors for 60 minutes each 

  More than 30 lectures for nursing staff for 60 minutes each 

  More than 12 lectures for junior medical staff for 120 minutes each 

  Comprehensive training of all medical personnel in the ISMP programmes 

MD Medical Group assigns particular focus to ensuring that our staff are continuously up-to-date on their qualifications and 
expertise. In 2022, we continued to maintain that all employees, whose work requires professional training, have undergone 
the necessary preparation. This includes training on labour protection and industrial safety programmes. 

Occupational health and safety 

MD Medical Group is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all its employees. The organisation's 
system of occupational safety is based on a comprehensive approach that involves various measures; these include:  

 

Legal measures for occupational safety involve creating a system of legal norms establishing standards for safe and 
healthy working conditions and legal means to ensure compliance. This system of legal norms is based on the Russian 
Constitution and includes laws, sub-legal normative acts, as well as local normative acts in force in the organisation. 

  Social-economic measures for occupational safety include government incentives for employers to improve labour 
protection, establishment of compensation and benefits for work in hazardous working conditions, mandatory social 
insurance and compensation payouts for work-related illnesses and injuries. 

  Organisational-technical measures for occupational safety include implementing a system for occupational safety 

management (SOSM10) – a unified complex of interrelated and interacting elements that establish the policy and goals in 
the area of labour safety within the organisation and procedures for achieving those goals. 

  Sanitary-hygienic measures for occupational safety are carried out with the aim to reduce the impact on workers of 
harmful and dangerous production factors, with the aim of providing favourable working conditions and preventing 
occupational illnesses. 

  Medical preventive measures for occupational safety include organising preliminary and periodic medical exams, 

mandatory psychiatric evaluations of employees and the provision of milk. 

  Rehabilitation measures for occupational safety include implementing a set of interventions aimed at restoring the health 

and working ability of employees who have suffered from an accident at work or occupational illness. 

As a medical healthcare provider, we understand the importance of creating a safe and healthy working environment for our 
employees. Occupational safety principles provide the framework for creating and maintaining this environment. By 

10 System for Occupation Safety Management 

Страница 116 из 132 

 
 
                                                           
establishing and adhering to these principles, we ensure that our employees are protected from harm and that our organisation 
is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  

Principles for occupational safety help us to identify and mitigate potential hazards, implement effective safety training and 
protocols, and provide the necessary resources to support our employees' physical and mental well-being. Ultimately, having 
strong principles for occupational safety not only protects our employees but also contributes to our organisation's overall 
success by minimising the risks of accidents, injuries and work-related illnesses. 

The main governing occupational safety principles of MD Medical Group include the following: 

  Ensuring the preservation of life, health and working capacity of workers in the course of work activity 

  Guaranteeing workers' rights to safe and healthy working conditions in accordance with standards established by the 

organisation through the assessment of the system for occupational safety management (SOSM) 

  Determining and paying compensation for work in hazardous working conditions, providing milk to employees working in 

hazardous conditions, according to SOSM 

  Providing social insurance for workers from workplace accidents and occupational diseases 

  Offering medical, social and professional rehabilitation of workers affected by workplace accidents and occupational 

diseases, if necessary 

Occupational safety management system 

At MD Medical Group, we recognise the importance of implementing a system for occupational safety management (SOSM). 
The benefits of having a SOSM are numerous and include creating a comprehensive approach to occupational safety, 
establishing clear policies and procedures, identifying and mitigating potential hazard and more. By implementing such a 
system, we are better equipped to protect our employees, reduce the risk of accidents and work-related illnesses, and ensure 
our long-term success.  

More specifically, the SOSM is utilised in order to solve the following tasks: 

1.  Selection of professionals with documented and confirmed qualifications 

2.  Training of personnel in innovative working methods 

3.  Training of employees in management positions at occupational health and safety training centres,  

4.  with the issuance of occupational health and safety certificates; 

5.  Systematic briefings on occupational health and safety (introductory, primary on the job, targeted, unscheduled) 

6.  Safe use of equipment, inventory, and auxiliary elements, as well as their disposal according to regulatory documents 

7.  Creation of safe technological processes and operating conditions for buildings and structures on the enterprise 

property 

8.  Creation of sanitary and epidemiological conditions in accordance with rules and regulations 

9.  Ensurance ofan optimal work and rest regime 

10.  Provision of personnel with personal protective equipment (PPE) 

11.  Organisation and conduct of professional risk assessment in production 

Ensuring workplace safety 

By prioritising the safety of our employees, we not only create a healthy work environment, but we also reduce the risk of 
workplace accidents and injuries. We believe that by taking preventative actions, we can create a safer and healthier work 
environment for our employees, which ultimately benefits everyone involved. Some of the key activities taken by the Group on 
workplace safety include: 

  Carrying out regular briefings and safety training for all employees (at least once every six months, and quarterly for 

employees working in hazardous conditions) 

Страница 117 из 132 

 
 
  Holding pre-shift, pre-employment and periodic medical examinations, with verification of final reports by authorised 
organisations (Rospotrebnadzor), as per Order of the Ministry of Health of Russia No. 29 dated 28 January 2021 

  Developing safe routes for movement on the organisation’s property, with separate personnel and patient movement, and 

provision of transportation for employees 

 

Installing and labelling safety signs throughout the organisation’s property, in accordance with GOST 12.4.026-2015 

  Providing individual and collective protective equipment for employees working in hazardous working conditions; 

procurement, issuance, storage and accounting of PPE, according to Order of the Ministry of Health and Social 
Development of the Russian Federation No. 777 from 1 September 2010. 

 

Testing the equipment implemented in production processes and medical activities in the context of commissioning, for 
compliance with safety requirements 

  Carrying out high-risk work, fire hazard work and work at heights is carried out through the permit-admission system. Work 
by ‘external’ entities in the organisation is also carried out through the permit-admission system and with the necessary 
training 

Staff training 

Providing our staff with the most up-to-date, comprehensive training on health and safety is a top priority for MD Medical 
Group. Medical and non-medical employees at MD Medical Group are offered courses in occupational safety and related areas 
as specified under Article 225 of the Russian Federation Labour Code. Every three years each employee must pass 
the relevant occupational safety test, and each year non-medical staff members must complete first-aid courses. 

To guarantee that MD Medical Group facilities are safe for patients, staff and third parties, the following training is also 
provided on-site: fire-safety, heating and energy supply systems, servicing high-pressure equipment, safe lift usage 
and maintenance, gas and water heating system safety.  

In 2022, training was provided to 456 technical service personnel as part of MD Medical Group, in such areas as: 

  Occupational health and safety for managers and specialists within the organisation 

 

Fundamentals of industrial safety 

  Operation of dangerous production facilities using steam pipelines and hot water 

  Operation of dangerous production facilities using vessels under excess pressure 

  Road safety 

  Boiler operator 

  General issues of occupational health and safety and the function of the SOSM 

 

Fire safety and many more 

Moving forward, we will continue to prioritise occupational health and safety training for all our staff to ensure the highest level 
of workplace safety. 

Supply chain development 
Effective supply chain management is essential to patient safety and the economic stability of MD Medical Group’s operations. 
The Group benefits from a robust and resilient supply chain. At its core is the analysis of material and equipment demand at all 
facilities. 

MD Medical Group’s core values of good faith, transparency, impartiality and fairness permeate all dealings with suppliers 
and other stakeholders in the supply chain. In supplier selection, particular emphasis is placed on a candidate’s experience 
and the quality of the product or service they offer. Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate a significant 
and successful track record in providing medical products and services, particularly for international-level private medical 
facilities. They must also share the same values, principles and work ethics as MD Medical Group. 

In 2022, MD Medical Group cooperated with over 1,500 supply companies, among which 210 provide medications, 1,138 are 
suppliers of consumables, and 350 are suppliers of medical equipment. This year, we have managed to reduce the number of 
supply companies used by the Group by more than 50%, further consolidating our supply chain. The total number 

Страница 118 из 132 

 
 
of companies involved in the supply chain in every area is kept to under two (as the diagram explains). The Procurement 
Department seeks to reduce the number of entities in the supply chain to ensure maximum efficiency and is primarily focused 
on major distributors able to meet MD Medical Group’s complex needs. 

Centralisation plays an important role in supply chain management at MD Medical Group. Every year the Procurement 
Department establishes a list of procurement categories that will be handled centrally. Suppliers are identified and selected 
in a transparent selection process, which ensures a continuum of high-quality care between the different locations 
in MD Medical Group’s structure. The working environment, conditions and equipment are therefore brought up to a shared 
level across all MD Medical Group’s entities. 

In addition to centralisation, supply chain management goals are: 

 

 

To identify alternative materials which would deliver the same high quality at a lower price point 

To conclude supply contracts directly with producers to exclude middle parties that would inflate the costs of any purchase 
contract 

Procurement 

The purchase of medications and medical equipment is carried out under this centralised approach. The goal here is to ensure 
competing producers are invited to participate in any single opportunity to supply the Group. This means MD Medical Group 
actively seeks to stimulate competition for each supply opportunity and is always open to new entities. As this is a fast-growing 
area, in which innovative products appear on the market regularly, it is essential to MD Medical Group’s standing 
as an innovation driver in its field that it is open to adopting these innovations at its centres. Before adopting them, rigorous 
performance and quality reviews are carried out. MD Medical Group also works directly with producers to gain access 
to the latest unique developments which are not already on the market, but which meet specific and identified needs. 

Supply chain of medications and equipment

Страница 119 из 132 

 
 
 
 
In 2022, MD Medical Group collaborated with more than 1,500 suppliers. The Procurement Department aims to reduce the 
number of levels in the supply chain to a maximum of two for maximum efficiency. It primarily focuses on large distributors that 
can meet the complex needs of MD Medical Group.

In 2022, MD Medical Group has continued to act according to its unified procurement regulation, which was developed and 
approved during the previous reporting period. This regulation defines a unified procedure for all procurement activities, the 
rights and obligations of their participants, the scope of responsibility and more. The regulation goals are:  

  Replenishing the material and technical base necessary to ensure its functioning in a timely manner 

 

Improving the required quality of supplies and efficiency in the use of funds  

  Ensuring transparency of procurement procedures and objectivity of decisions made  

  Ensuring the mandatory requirements of an open tender, preventing a conflict of interest among procurement participants 

Following the change in intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic, MD Medical Group has been able to begin transitioning towards 
a lower level of medication purchasing. During the previous reporting period, the volume of purchases was increased by 50% 
compared to 2020. This decrease in volume can similarly be seen in the Groups significant reduction of total suppliers 
compared to last year. 

Centralised procurement procedures cover 92% of the volume. Meanwhile, 100% of purchases are made locally, which makes 
it possible to significantly improve the operation of the supply chain by monitoring the fulfilment of contractual obligations. The 
sum of procurement of domestic medicines and medical supplies is approximately RUB 700 mln per year, which amounts to 
approximately 15% of all procurement in these categories. Direct contracts are also signed with Pfizer, Biocad, Medisorb, 
Pharmasyntez. Meanwhile, 66% of consumables were purchased through centralised purchasing procedures. 

Last year, MD Medical Group became one of the first companies in Russia to sign direct contracts with major manufacturers of 
medical equipment and consumables, including Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic. MD Medical Group assigns particular 
importance on the quality of its contracts with counterparties and suppliers, carrying forward these important relationships with 
manufacturers into 2022. Additionally, recent partnerships have also been expanded with B. Braun, Karl Storz, Olympus, 
Origio, Roche, Beckman Coulter, Abbott and others.  

Sustainable development risk management 
As a responsible company, we recognise the importance of managing sustainability risks in order to protect our business and 
create value for our stakeholders.  

Through managing sustainability risks, we are able to improve our operational efficiency, enhance our reputation and 
contribute to a more sustainable future for all. In line with a clearly defined and robust long-term strategy, MD Medical Group 
acts to minimise such risks. It achieves this by regularly reviewing its risk management approaches. 

Corporate governance and effective management are essential elements in MD Medical Group’s continued success. 
The Board of Directors is committed to upholding the highest standards in all interaction with stakeholders. Alongside the 
Board of Directors, the Group identifies the most significant risks to the Company, discusses the current methodology for 
compensating identified risks, and decides on the need for any additional measures.  

During this reporting period, MD Medical Group has identified five types of sustainable development risk, related to its business 
operations and the broader healthcare sector. These general risks are: 

  Environmental impact risks 

  Social and employment risks 

  Human rights risks 

  Corruption and bribery risks 

  Security and IT risks

MD Medical Group has implemented targeted preventive measures regarding all identified risks, and notes that there is a low 
likelihood that any of these risks will transpire as real events.

Environmental management 

Reducing environmental impact is essential for MD Medical Group for several business-critical reasons. 

This has many benefits, as it allows more resources to be re-focused on the Group’s core business, enabling increased 
reinvestment in its healthcare facilities across the Russian Federation and benefitting patients and local communities. 
Additionally, good environmental management goes hand in hand with MD Medical Group’s stated commitment to being 
an innovative leader in healthcare. Lastly, it shows the communities, where MD Medical Group has a presence, that it 
is dedicated to being a good partner in all respects. 

Страница 124 из 132 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The compliance with applicable federal, regional and local environmental legislation is as essential to MD Medical Group’s 
successful operations as is its compliance with other rules, regulations and benchmarked best practices. The Company’s 
management system meets the international requirement ISO 14001-2004 Environmental Management Systems and ISO 
50001:2011 Energy Management Systems. 

Energy efficiency 

Heating at MD Medical Group facilities primarily draws on the electricity supply. However, clinics and hospitals are also 
equipped with diesel generators to serve as backup power supply units in case of unforeseen electricity outages. 

Common energy saving practices among both clinics and hospitals include ensuring, wherever possible, energy efficient 
settings on general (non-medically critical) equipment and devices are used such as air-conditioning and motion responsive 
lighting. In addition, clinics adopt halogen and fluorescent lamps with LED energy-saving light sources. 

By adopting energy-saving practices MD Medical Group ensures more resources are directed to those operationally critical 
areas, and supports the communities in which it has operations by setting an example for other entities of responsible resource 
and facilities management.

MD Medical Group clinics and hospitals receive water from municipal water supply systems, which meets State Standard 
GOST Р 51232–98 (2002). Efficient water use is a key component in MD Medical Group’s approach towards sustainable 
operations. The Company is dedicated to improving its water management system as shown by the individual facilities.

MD Medical Group takes a responsible approach to managing medical waste, following the applicable legislation. The waste 
disposal procedures and practices in place in MD Medical Group hospitals and clinics fall under the Sanitary 
and Epidemiological Requirements for Treating Medical Waste (SanPin 2.1.7.2790-10). 

Waste is categorised as hazardous or non-hazardous, and subject to treatment as defined below. The continued effect 
of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting medical practice changes, such as the introduction of additional protective measures 
for staff and patients, meant that all medical facilities saw a greater volume of waste. 

Hazardous waste is either treated in-house and disposed of using special equipment, or this is done by external contractors. 
Where this is handled in-house, hazardous waste undergoes decontamination processes to remove harmful substances or 
render them inert, until it becomes non-hazardous, whereupon it is processed as non-hazardous waste. External contractors 
use landfills for non-hazardous waste or incineration for hazardous waste.

cardboard, etc.) 

  Class B (Б) – epidemiologically hazardous waste. This class includes human blood and blood products as well as other 

biological liquids 

  Class V (В) – extremely epidemiologically hazardous waste (materials that were in contact with patients with infectious 

diseases) 

  Class G (Г) – toxicologically hazardous waste of classes from 1 to 4. This class includes medicines, diagnostics,

Annex 5: 
Main methods for obtaining information 
Most of the data is originated from the clinics’ and hospitals’ own records of actual water use, energy and fuel consumption. 
However, for several clinics and hospitals some indicators were calculated, due to the fact that a number of facilities are 
located in rented premises; and because of the lack of detailed accounting data or non-relevance of such information for 
decision-making by the MD Medical Group or stakeholders. 

It should be noted that there were changes made to the methodology for the recording of data, resulting in adjusted values for 
the year 2021. All calculations were made by applying some of the following indicators: 

  Water consumption – average water consumption per square metre for clinics and hospitals 

  Electricity and heating – the amount of money spent on utilities and average heating energy consumption per square 

metre for clinics. Regional tariffs were used for the calculations. The share of data on water, energy and fuel consumption, 
obtained from calculations was insignificant in the overall dataset

Annex 6:  
Patient consent and legislative compliance 
The matter of acquiring informed patient consent is a fundamental issue for all medical service providers. MD Medical Group 
closely monitors its systems for presenting relevant information to its patients regarding the provision of medical service to 
ensure that their decisions are informed. MD Medical Group maintains complete compliance with established regulations 
regarding patient consent. 

In accordance with Federal Law No. 323-FL dated 21 November  2011, ‘On the Basics of Protecting the Health of Citizens in 
the Russian Federation’ (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 323-FL), the necessary prior condition for medical intervention is 
the provision of informed consent (hereinafter referred to as IC) by the citizen or their legal representative for medical 
intervention based on full information provided by the medical worker in an accessible form about the purposes, methods of 
providing medical assistance, the associated risks, possible options for medical intervention, its consequences, and the 
expected results of providing medical assistance (part 1, article 20 of Law No. 323-FL). 

Informed voluntary consent for medical intervention or refusal of medical intervention is contained in the medical 
documentation of the citizen and is made in the form of a document on a paper carrier, signed by the citizen, one of the 
parents, or another legal representative, a medical worker, or is formed in the form of an electronic document, signed by the 
citizen, one of the parents, or another legal representative using a strengthened qualified electronic signature or a simple 
electronic signature through the use of a unified system of identification and authentication, and also by a medical worker using 
a strengthened qualified electronic signature.(Chapter 7, Article 20 of Federal Law No. 323-FL). 

Order of the Russian Ministry of Health No. 1051n dated 12 November 2021 establishes the procedure for giving informed 
consent for medical intervention and refusal of medical intervention, as well as the forms of informed consent for medical 
intervention and refusal of medical intervention. According to this Order, citizens give informed consent when choosing a 
doctor and medical organisation for primary medical assistance. 

Additionally, in accordance with Article 22 of Federal Law 323, everyone has the right to receive in a form accessible to them, 
information on their health available in any medical organisation, including information on the results of a medical examination, 
the presence of illness, the established diagnosis, and the forecast of the development of the illness, methods of providing 
medical assistance, the risks associated with them, possible forms of medical intervention, its consequences and the results of 
providing medical assistance. 

MD Medical Group ensures compliance with the relevant law requirements as follows:  

1. 

Informed consent in the form approved by Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 1051n dated 
12 November 2021 is signed by each patient (their legal representative) who visits the Company's medical 
organisation and is an annex to the contract for paid medical services. The same informed consent is signed by the 
patient upon their initial visit for medical assistance under Mandatory Health Insurance (MHI). 

The Company has developed an additional form of Informed Consent, providing a list and description of medical interventions 
that patients give consent for during initial visits, for the purpose of providing information to patients in an accessible form. 

2. 

In the Group, lawyers and leading medical specialists developed informed consents for various medical interventions 
by medical profiles (obstetrics, VRT, anaesthesia and transfusiology, HIV, etc.), containing information on the 
objectives, methods of providing medical assistance, related risks, potential benefits, alternative treatments and 
potential consequences of refusal. 

Страница 131 из 132 

 
 
 
The informed consents are reviewed and updated regularly in accordance with changes in medical practices and legislation. 
The medical organisations in the Group ensure that patients receive accurate and understandable information about the 
medical intervention and their rights to make informed decisions. 

Annex 7:  
Approach to medical service advertising 
The requirements for advertising medical services are contained in Article 24 FL ‘On advertising’, according to which it should 
not contain references to specific cases of curing of diseases, improvement of human health as a result of the application of 
the object of advertising; contain expressions of gratitude of individuals in connection with the use of the object of advertising; 
create an idea of the benefits of the object of advertising by reference to the fact of conducting research, that are mandatory for 
the state registration of the object of advertising; contain allegations or assumptions about the presence of certain diseases or 
health disorders among consumers.  

Advertising should be accompanied by a warning about the presence of contraindications to their application and use, as well 
as the need to familiarise oneself with the instructions for use or to receive expert advice. In advertisements broadcast on radio 
programmes, such a warning should last at least three seconds; in advertisements for television programmes and for film and 
video services – at least five seconds and must be allocated at least seven percent of the frame area, and in advertising 
distributed by other means – at least five percent of the advertising area (advertising space).
