MD Medical Group Investments Plc ("MD Medical Group", "MDMG" or the "Company" - LSE: MDMG), a leading Russian private healthcare provider, today announces its operating results for the first quarter of 2017.

Key operational highlights for Q1 2017:

Mark Kurtser, CEO of MD Medical Group, said:

"In the first quarter of 2017, MD Medical Group demonstrated strong operational performance.
"We are the leader in the IVF market in Russia, and our results in this segment grew by an impressive 19% year-on-year, further strengthening our leadership. In-patient and out-patient treatments grew 8% and 9% year-on-year, respectively. Over the first three months of the year, we had 3% more deliveries than in Q1 2016.
"This growth was mainly driven by the continued ramp-up of our hospitals in Ufa, Novosibirsk, and Lapino, as well as the further development of other medical facilities across Russia.
"In Q1 2017, we further expanded our leading network in the regions. In February, we completed one of our largest projects to date - in line with the timeframe and budget, we built a new high-tech hospital in Novosibirsk, which is becoming a powerful healthcare hub in Siberia. In March, we welcomed the first patients at the hospital. We significantly expanded and modernised our clinic in St Petersburg, growing the range of the services offered and increasing capacity. We also opened our first IVF clinic in Vladimir.
"The Group continues to grow. The demand for our high-tech health care services remains strong, as ever. Thanks to our recent launches, continued ramp-up at our existing facilities and the pipeline of upcoming projects, we are optimistic about the future."
