Opomena iz Ćuprije: Manja porodilišta u Srbiji na ivici zatvaranja
Situacija koja se desila proteklih dana u porodilištu u Ćupriji, kada je zbog nedostatka stručnog kadra privremeno bio zatvoren stacionar i nisu primane nove pacijentkinje, mogla bi da bude sudbina i drugih manjih porodilišta u Srbiji – da budu na ivici zatvaranja jer neće imati ginekologa, smatraju sagovornice Danasa.
TL;DR
- The maternity ward in Ćuprija was temporarily closed due to a shortage of gynecologists.
- This situation could be indicative of a larger problem facing smaller maternity hospitals across Serbia.
- There is a disproportionate distribution of gynecologists, with many concentrated in Belgrade while rural areas lack sufficient staff.
- Experts suggest that a lack of investment in healthcare outside of major cities has contributed to this crisis.
- Serbia's birth rate has been declining, with a negative natural increase.
- There are calls for better redistribution of medical staff and equal working conditions across all healthcare facilities.
- Women in smaller towns may be forced to travel to larger cities for gynecological care or pay for private services.
- Data shows a consistent decline in the number of births in Serbia over the past decade, including in Ćuprija.
