Health for all women

Creștem accesul la servicii de sănătate a reproducerii și la serviciile furnizate de moașe

Romania faces one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates and some of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the European Union, as well as very high incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer and breast cancer.

Antenatal care is very difficult to access in the public health system, and pregnant women who cannot afford to pay for fetal screening and fetal morphology privately do not have access to these essential services at all. Prenatal education courses for parents and lactation counseling with qualified personnel are not reimbursed. More than 60% of women give birth by caesarean section, in most cases without a medical reason or without the woman's request for the procedure, newborns are separated from their mothers immediately after birth and breastfeeding support is lacking.

Reproductive health services, including modern contraception and family planning services, are becoming increasingly inaccessible for many people. These problems affect women's lives, health and rights every day.

Several civil society organizations fighting for women's rights are joining forces to bring the role of midwives to public and institutional attention. We believe that the too low number of midwives in Romania and the lack of billing for their services is the missing link in the health system

What we are working on

  • Training for health professionals on reproductive health, reproductive rights, perinatal health, gender equality, intersectionality and anti-discrimination policies
  • Good practice exchanges between midwives from Romania and France
  • Legal steps for full recognition of the midwifery profession in Romania and reimbursement of services provided by midwives on an independent basis
  • Conduct a study showing the needs and benefits of recognizing the midwifery profession and recommendations for health institutions
  • Raising awareness about midwifery and reproductive health in an advocacy campaign #RomaniaNeedsMidwives
