Small maternities feel under attack and have no intention of letting go, as reported by Le Parisien, after the publication of a report by the Academy of Medicine affirming that we should no longer give birth in 100 maternities in the name of mother and child safety.
A figure that lit the fuse of protest and provoked protests in Lannion, a few days ago in Lannion where 250 defenders shouted slogans: "No to closure", "Stop hitting women".
A rehearsal before a large demonstration organized this Saturday in front of the Guingamp maternity hospital, also threatened. In Brittany, the other committees of Lannion, Landerneau, Carhaix, Ploërmel are called upon to join them to give voice. While nearly 30% of maternity wards have closed over the past twenty years, for lack of white coats, this new report, voted on at the Academy of Medicine on Tuesday March 7, drives the point home. He highlights the lack of personnel, which can lead to risks for the woman and the child. In France neonatal mortality has not decreased for twenty years.
