Description

The Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) Maternity Directive serves to ensure adequate, expedient and economical medical care for insured persons during pregnancy and after birth, in accordance with the medical state of the art and the current standard of care. Comprehensive care aims to avert possible risks to the life and health of the mother and child, and to recognize and treat health disorders promptly. Nearly all screening examinations can be performed by midwives or physicians and entered in the maternity record. These do not include ultrasound examinations (see below), which can be performed only in a gynaecology practice. A woman who suffers symptoms during pregnancy should seek gynaecological care. A maternity record is issued at the first screening examination. Only the examinations listed there are considered regular screening examinations as offered by the Maternity Directive. Information on the woman's general state of health is logged in the maternity record, along with information on the course of the pregnancy and any complications.
