New midwife kreissa in Bad Kreuznach: Birth revolution begins!
On May 9, 2025, the new midwife -led delivery room (HKS) of the Diakonie Kliniken Bad Kreuznach was officially opened. There were high -ranking guests, including the State Secretary Nicole Steingass, the member of the state parliament Michael Simon, the chair of the midwife association Juliane Müller, the district administrator Bettina Dickes and the mayor Emanuel Letz. The aim of this innovative project is to strengthen self -determined births and at the same time improve working conditions for midwives. The delivery room has only been in operation for five months and brings a new childcare concept for pregnancies without complications.
In the HKS, births are accompanied exclusively by experienced midwives, without medical intervention. However, all resources of the clinic are available for complications. This means that the medical team is always willing to intervene, but does not intervene in the natural birth of birth, as long as there are no medical emergencies. The ambition level of the project can also be seen in the words of Nicole Steingass, which highlights the key role of the midwives for safe and self -determined births.
innovations and offers
Special attention is paid to personal 1: 1 care that encourages women to trust their bodies and their skills. During the birth there is also a second midwife for the care of mother and newborn. The HKS promotes self -determined births without medical interventions. Gentle methods of pain relief such as homeopathy, acupuncture and aroma therapy are offered to create a relaxed atmosphere.
The Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Science and Health promotes the HKS as part of a larger Initiative to strengthen various delivery rooms in the region, including in Simmern. This is particularly relevant in view of the challenges that many pregnant women in Germany have to confront with delivery room closings, overloaded doctors and a lack of midwives, as described by the specialist article from Bleiben Sie informiert: Jeden Abend senden wir Ihnen die Artikel des Tages aus der Kategorie Bad kreuznach – übersichtlich als Liste. In this context, the training of young people is also promoted, with the care of two midwifery students and two trainees. Midwives from Ukraine also receive support. The delivery room on the seventh floor has been extensively renovated, with not only an additional examination room was created, but the organizational processes were also restructured. The HKS thus offers a future -oriented concept for obstetrics close to home in Bad Kreuznach. The successful project not only stands for the appreciation of the midwives and their work, but also as a strong signal for self -determined obstetrics. With the official opening, an important step in the direction of improving the birth experience and midwifery work in the region has been taken.
