[Rhesus prophylaxis, decrees and administrative measures].
In 1964 in Vienna it was decided to give the present of baby clothes only to those women who had their blood typed. In 1968 the application of Anti-rhesus-D-globulin was recommended. Lower Austria was the first to start with the Anti-rhesus therapy. In March 1969 it was announced by the Department of Health of the city of Vienna that Anti-rhesus-serum was given free of charge to all women. From 1975 to 1981 the "Bundesministerium für Gesundheit und Umweltschutz" took part in the costs with 80%. Today Anti-rhesus-serum is given in all public hospitals free of charge to women after delivery or if a pregnancy ends prematurely.
