PADUA «The hospital told me that I will not be able to be present at the birth of my child.. I cannot go to the delivery room with my wife or visit her in the room due to anti-Covid provisions“The hospital is the Padua hospital, who is speaking is Edoardo Faggiani, Paduan who will soon become a father for the second time. The baby is expected to be born in about a week and his wife, Cristina Fede, will have to face the birth alone. “I understand that you are surfing at first glance in this period, but I don’t understand why I can’t be near my wife when I take a tampon,” Faggiani says. We chose the hospital because there is excellent neonatal intensive care. I had some difficulties early in the pregnancy, we thought it was the best hospital to trust. If there were complications, it would be difficult for her to deal with them alone.

There is more. Faggiani will not be able to see the boy before his wife is discharged. “My son will be born and I will have to wait three days to see him. It’s disgusting to say the least, ”he says, his voice revealing a moment of emotion. The two parents tried to write an email to the public relations office on November 25, asking if by exchanging the father had obtained permission to enter at least the ward, but received a negative response. “We are not happy, on the contrary, we are very sorry”, responds María Teresa Gervasi, director of Obstetrics-Gynecology at the hospital. We must think of everyone, not just ourselves. The rapid test that is done to the parents before entering has a high risk of false negatives and therefore you imagine how dangerous it can be for a newborn and its mother. The same decision was made in March by the hospital management and parental access had only been allowed as of April 11, when the spread of the coronavirus had begun to slow. “Not to mention that our ward is very large, so there would be too many people around,” Gervasi emphasizes, referring to the fact that in the other hospitals in the province, under the ULSS, parents can enter the delivery room. According to the regional councilor for health, Manuela Lanzarote, only in Padua the entry of parents to Gynecology-Obstetrics is prohibited. “As I am told, all hospitals allow dads to enter the delivery room after a quick swab. Some problems only happened in Padua ».
