Giving help
In the maternity hospital, two-stage nursing of preterm infants is practiced, which helps to preserve the life of newborns with extremely low body weight. The most comfortable conditions are created for women in labor. In the absence of pathologies, a joint stay of the mother and child in the same ward is ensured.
During the period of monitoring the course of pregnancy, the woman chooses how the birth will take place - in horizontal or vertical position - the doctors will support any chosen option.
The obstetric hospital supports the natural course of the birth process, but if necessary, and with the consent of the woman in labor, anesthesia (most often epidural) is performed, and, according to indications, a cesarean section. The first application of the newborn to the breast occurs in the maternity room, immediately after the baby is born.
Standard postpartum rooms are equipped with changing tables, baby cots and beds for young mothers. In single-chamber commercial chambers, separate bathrooms are equipped, household appliances are installed, a modern design is thought out. There is the possibility of a joint stay of the mother and child, visits to relatives are allowed.
Positive about the center
Engels is a city located in the Saratov region, with a relatively small population. The perinatal center is considered one of the best medical institutions where women seek to get in order to receive professional help. Positive reviews are written for doctors and all clinic staff.
It is noted that the knowledge, care and experience of most obstetrician-gynecologists have helped many give birth to healthy babies. Some women left personal reviews for doctors who observed and gave birth to several children.
Reviews of the perinatal center of Engels are full of words of gratitude not only to the doctors, but to all the staff for the friendly atmosphere, desire and ability to help in a difficult or unexpected situation. Many advantages are found in the work of nurses, laboratory assistants and technical workers.
Patients note that the best service, according to their impressions, is provided by staff in the old building of the clinic, where employees have been a single team for many years. Women in labor say that during hospitalization, including at night, no one complains, but immediately get involved in the case, mobilize all the forces and means for a quiet stay of the woman in labor and full support for the birth process.
What is in the negative reviews?
The departments of the perinatal center are designed to preserve the life, health of mother and child. But not all employees are fully involved in the implementation of these tasks. Patients say that they often faced a negative attitude from doctors and nurses. The full paid commercial contract did not save the situation either. Some women received infectious inflammations as a result of an inept or negligent birth, and children received birth injuries.
Reviews of the perinatal center with negative reviews describe cases in which women were not fully assisted, leaving the postpartum period lying in the corridor without attention from the doctor and nurse. There are cases when the patient is denied an examination due to the fact that the attending physician has a day off, and the doctor does not consider it necessary to transfer the patient to another doctor or come for an examination even in difficult cases.
Almost all women mention that the premises of the center have long been in need of repair, there are not enough shower rooms and new furniture. Many are ready to put up with everyday difficulties, but want to receive qualified help. Women leave recommendations about which doctors should be consulted and who should be avoided. Most of the clients are strongly advised to decide with the attending physician long before the expected delivery in order to be able to safely change the specialist if necessary.
Neutral reviews
Engels is a city where the population in recent years has been constantly increasing. One of the growth factors is the quality of medical care, including in the perinatal center. Many patients, remembering that with excellence in the world and Engels are still tense, left feedback about their stay in the hospital and made several recommendations.
Neutral reviews say that most doctors and staff are responsible for their work, strive to use all the experience, knowledge and opportunities for a safe delivery. In the event of unusual situations or the birth of premature babies in the hospital, all measures are taken to care for the child, preserve the health and life of the mother. It is noted that intensive care units for infants and mothers do not cause any complaints.
More questions arise in mothers at the postpartum unit, where women spend 4-5 days. It is noted that the food is quite satisfactory, but dietary, which not everyone likes.
The rooms are cleaned regularly, but visiting the bathrooms and shower rooms is a test for nerves. Due to the fact that there is only one bathroom on the floor, it gets dirty very quickly, and they clean it standardly - twice a day, so garbage and dirt accumulate. Shower rooms require repair, replacement and replenishment of plumbing, changing window frames that do not close well.
In general, most patients take everyday difficulties in state clinics for granted, but they expect excellent medical care from doctors. According to the patients, there are excellent specialists working in the Engels Perinatal Center, who successfully cope with any problems and know how to enjoy every baby.
Women's recommendations
Women in labor who have repeatedly contacted the Engels perinatal center recommend not expecting a specialist to give advice, but be sure to ask questions and ask for an answer. There are not so many doctors, they are extremely busy, to find out what common problems a young mother may have, so you need to communicate with a specialist with maximum productivity.
Women advise before childbirth to carefully study what you need to take with you to the clinic, to prepare a package with things that will be needed in the postpartum period. Many emphasize the mandatory study and implementation of the recommendations of obstetricians, which are given to every woman in the antenatal period and tell, based on their own experience, that all the advice of the doctors were useful, greatly facilitated the delivery and accelerated the return to normal life.
In general, the impressions of the work of the center and the doctors are positive, almost all are satisfied with the cost of commercial deliveries. Many emphasized that the concluded commercial contract for childbirth is a bonus to staying in comfortable conditions of the postpartum unit, since any woman in labor provides full assistance with mobilizing all the possibilities.
