The Ministry of wellness is preparing a task to close births and region hospitals. The proposal, which is already on the negotiating table, concerns the introduction of births on the SOR, where there will be peculiar rooms for midwives.
The Tusk government wants to shut down their births in bulk. Deputy Minister Tomasz Maciejewski during the 21st wellness marketplace Forum revealedthat its ministry examines "accessibility to maternity wards" and considers introducing a fresh solution – births received at the infirmary Emergency Services (SOR) or maternity admissions. In practice, this means that in the places where the births were removed, women will be born on the SOR, under the supervision of 1 midwife alternatively than a squad of doctors in a specialised room.
The Deputy Minister referred to this concept as a ‘indirect station’ to guarantee ‘continuous care’ in regions where it takes besides long to scope the nearest maternity hospital. The on-call midwives are expected to deliver the baby themselves or decide to transport the baby to another facility. A female who comes to the infirmary herself without a baby will then be transported by ambulance to a distant centre, which, in emergency situations, poses a serious hazard to the parent and child.
Maciejewski admitted at the same time that this thought is connected with planned, further restrictions on the number of births. According to him, Poland "will request little maternity wards" as births fall all year. The hotel wants to adapt the network of hospitals to the "demographic conditions" and keep only those branches where the number of births guarantees adequate staff experience.
According to the information revealed by the wellness marketplace Portal, at least 19 maternity wards throughout the country have only been closed in the past 19 months. In many places, no births were reported for respective days, which the ministry uses as an argument for their liquidation. Only 4 provinces have not closed any delivery. However, the situation is not new.
In practice, introducing births to the ORs means moving distant from basic safety standards. A female during childbirth may be placed in a ward where there is no neonathological background, a gynecologist or an operating room. The decision to decision her during childbirth will depend only on 1 midwife, which is simply a return to reality decades ago. alternatively of strengthening local hospitals and restoring the availability of delivery, the state is preparing for the systemic dismantling of maternity care in Poland.
What about birth complications? I don't know. As a result, women will be even more afraid to get pregnant knowing that they cannot number on appropriate care during childbirth. And that is most likely what this is about – to further accelerate the roll-up of the Polish Nation.
We besides recommend: Health services are officially bankrupt. Hospitals don't take sick people.
