Our Activities:
''Guarding the Standards and Continuity of Perinatal and Postnatal Care'' Project (2015/2016)
The project is an advocacy for making Perinatal and Postnatal Care Standards a life-reality, including making a midwife-led care a fully available option for Public Health Fund patients. Our project is a continuation of the Foundation's struggle of many years to introduce unified standards of medical care, based on Patient's Rights and modern medical processes in Poland.
Childbirth with Dignity Foundation / mission, goals and activities.
In 1994 the largest national daily in Poland announced a nationwide campaign entitled "Childbirth with Dignity" as a response to years of humiliation and suffering of childbearing women in obstetric hospitals. Our aim was to initiate a public dialogue on the subject of childbirth in order to transform a taboo topic into a positive one so that women in Poland no longer need to feel humiliated and lonely during such a vital experience.
