The 500th baby born in 2025
29 August 2025

Every birth at Plodnost Hospital is a moment of joy and hope, but today we celebrate a milestone – the birth of the 500th baby in 2025. Baby Maria was born naturally at 12:38 PM, weighing 3,532 grams and measuring 50 centimetres.
Her parents chose the name Maria in honour of tomorrow’s important Christian holiday – the Assumption of the Virgin Mary – adding even more meaning and emotion to this special occasion.
Teamwork and dedication
This achievement reflects the incredible teamwork and dedication of our staff:
-
Dr. Kristinka Pajakovska, obstetrician-gynaecologist
-
Prim. Dr. Anica Apchevska Vasileva, neonatologist
-
Nurses Frosina, Natasha, and Biljana
-
Midwives Irena, Zaneta, and Fiona
Their expertise and compassion ensure that every moment – from the first check-up to the first cries – is handled with the utmost care and professionalism.


A day of hope and new beginnings
Today, our neonatal department is caring for 14 newborns, filling the hospital with the sounds of life and the promise of bright futures.
Our mission
At Plodnost, each birth is a testament to our mission – to provide the safest, most reliable care for mothers, babies, and their families, and to support them in the most important journey of their lives.
