Nurses will monitor pregnant women without a family doctor

The Health Minister announced a pilot project allowing specialized nurses to monitor low-risk pregnancies for women without a family doctor. This initiative aims to ensure proper care and reduce reliance on emergency services. The project has faced criticism from medical organizations, which argue it undermines the role of family doctors in prenatal care. The Minister emphasized the importance of monitoring pregnancies for the health of mothers and babies, stating that nurses will refer patients to doctors if necessary. The pilot aligns with existing European practices and is seen as a significant advancement for nursing professionals.
