The 27th National Midwives’ Conference, which started on Thursday, will also feature presentations on the possibilities of complex birth preparation, special care for pregnant women over 35, crisis situations surrounding childbirth, and the use of alternative birthing methods. The meeting was jointly organized by the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of the University of Debrecen and the Midwifery Section of the Hungarian Nursing Association.
Family-friendly midwifery – for the birth of a family – is the motto of the 27th National Midwifery Conference in Debrecen. One of the organizers is the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of the University of Debrecen Clinical Center, where special attention is paid to family-friendly care. In 1992, the institution received the World Health Organization (WHO) Baby-Friendly Hospital title, but family-friendly maternity care also means that, in addition to the baby, great care is also taken of the mother and the family. This is served by several developments, for example, the creation of family wards and maternity restrooms.
In addition to family-friendly care, our professional results, including our cesarean section frequency and the first in the country to introduce umbilical cord blood pH measurement, prove that we are worthy hosts of the event. The Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic is one of the institutions with the largest number of births in the country. The number of births on the two campuses exceeds five thousand

As a result of the process, with 7,700 employees and 3,500 patient beds, the largest healthcare system in our country was created. As part of the integration, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic, operating according to uniform professional guidelines and protocols, was established. In the successful process, all workers, including the midwives, had a special role – emphasized the president.
