Midwife center in Simmern: New hope for expectant parents!
First midwife center opened in Simmern: Support for expectant parents in the Rhein-Hunsrück district - fewer midwives, more help.
Midwife center in Simmern: New hope for expectant parents!
The first midwifery center in the Hunsrück was opened in Simmern, a crucial step towards improving obstetric care in the region. Midwives Lydia Junker and Tabea Sitrinovich run the newly founded facility, which is dedicated to supporting expectant parents. Particularly noteworthy is the lack of freelance midwives in the Hunsrück, where just 15 midwives work for the entire area. This circumstance has made it considerably more difficult for expectant families to find suitable care the Rhein-Zeitung reports.
The Midwife Center aims to help close these gaps by not only providing midwives, but also offering comprehensive support in all phases of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. With a wide range of services supported by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Science and Health, expectant parents in the region can benefit from advice close to home. The Kreuznach Diakonie emphasizes that the headquarters also organizes replacements and offers on-site consultations when midwives are on vacation or sick.
A holistic concept
The midwife center aims to overcome the challenges associated with long journeys and the small number of maternity clinics and midwives. After all, this initiative creates a direct contact point that offers expectant parents support and information. The interest in the midwife center shows that there is a great need for such offers in the region.
In addition, the headquarters receives support from various institutions, including the Diakonie Kliniken Hunsrück support association and the Aenne Wimmers Hospice, which underlines the importance of the project in the context of local medical care. The midwives Lydia Junker and Tabea Sitrinovich are the contact persons for all interested parents and are available to offer comprehensive information and support.
With the opening of this midwife center in Simmern, the Hunsrück has taken a significant step towards improved obstetric care. Hopefully this will also significantly improve the quality of life for expectant families in the region.
