Midwife Center Voitsberg: Future of pregnancy care secured

in the midwife center Voitsberg, which has been an important point of contact for pregnant women and young families since its foundation in 2013, was decided on Friday, November 15, the funding for the continuation of the services. At a meeting of the Styria Health platform under the chairmanship of Health Councilor Karlheinz Kornhäusl (ÖVP), this step was unanimously decided after the current funding contract expired at the end of the year.

"The midwife center Voitsberg has been doing valuable work for women and families in the region for years. With the continued continuation, we will continue to secure comprehensive, low -threshold and free support for pregnancy and birth," said Kornhäusl. The club chairman of the SPÖ, Hannes Schwarz, also underlined the importance of the center, which offers free access to essential midwife services. "We are committed to ensuring that such projects continue to be supported and expanded," he emphasized.

low -threshold support for all

The decision to continue means that access to the services of the midwife center remains open to all women and families in the region. Pregnant, childbearing, women and their partners can fall back on a variety of offers, including consultations, pregnant provision and help in birth.

The midwife center is known for being available by phone even in times of on -calling. This ensures that women from all social classes can gain access to important information and support offers without having to overcome financial hurdles. Mobility is promoted by a good connection to public transport so that the clients can reach the center even without their own car.

annually over 400 women come to the center, where they not only receive information and advice, but also comprehensive medical care in the puerperium. Among other things, the midwives carry out weight controls for newborns, offer breastfeeding advice and support in the regression.

If a woman can be released into the home after birth, this usually happens without any problems. In the event of abnormalities, the clients are passed on to specialists or clinics, which relieves the healthcare system as a whole.

The decision to further promote the Voitsberg midwife center is a significant step in ensuring that essential services for pregnant women and their families in the region will remain available in the future.
