Description
The expected result of the programme is the improvement of prenatal care. This will be reached through the extension and fitting of the obstetric and gynaecological pavilion with a part of Pregnancy Pathology Department as well as the extension and renovation of adjacent rooms; through specialist trainings for doctors on intrauterine fetal surgeries; a programme of health promotion and education; and prophylactic programme. The direct target group is the “Zdroje” Independent Public Specialist Health Care Centre in Szczecin. The investment measures cover the entire Zachodniopomorskie province as well as patients coming from all over Poland (in the scope of intrauterine fetal surgeries). The non-investment measures target residents of the Szczecin subregion, but a part of the planned measures will reach the residents of the entire province through commonly available means of communication.
