Question 20762 — health establishments

Summary

Mr. Jean-Marie Fiévet draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the closure of local maternity wards. Indeed, France is facing the creation of new medical deserts where the distance from maternity wards now represents a proven inevitability in rural areas. Due to a lack of maternity facilities close to their place of residence or time to reach hospitals, many women give birth to their child at home or even on the way to the maternity ward, thus endangering their health and that of the newborn. It is certainly possible to get closer to maternity wards in advance, but these trips represent costs which should not be borne by patients in order to access a satisfactory system of care and medical support. So although the reason for the lack of activity due to a low rate of births is often retained, solutions exist thanks to practitioners who practice in several establishments. Therefore, he asks what solutions are proposed for families suffering from distance from maternity wards and risking not receiving emergency care.
