Abstract:
Maternity Protection - A Guide for Pregnant Physicians and Their Employers Abstract. The proportion of women in the medical profession is high and shows an upward trend. When a woman becomes pregnant, she has a legal right to various measures to protect herself and the unborn child. Practice and literature show that even 20 years after the introduction of the Maternity Protection Ordinance, the knowledge and ultimately the implementation of the existing legislation in everyday clinical practice is still expandable. For example, it is important to know that a competent professional must perform a risk assessment for dangerous and arduous activities. In addition, there are special regulations regarding permitted working hours and a protection against dismissal.
