There's no single confirmed list of clinics — expectant mothers typically ask for personal recommendations on Russian-speaking OB/GYNs and maternity hospitals, and also check whether Turkish medical certificates need translation before flying.

For a flight at 29 weeks pregnant from Istanbul to Russia on Pobeda airline, the question arose whether the Turkish-language pregnancy certificate needs translation into Russian or English, or if the original is enough — no definitive answer was given in the chat, so it's best to confirm directly with the airline.
