[Special obstetrico-gynecologic hospital structure and local service units. Considerations on the availability and need for ULS 35 and 36].
The underlying principles of the national health reform measures and those approved by the Piedmont Region's programmes with regard to social and health reorganisation are recalled. Reference is made to anomalies with respect to local health services No. 35 and No. 36 in the case of obstetrics and gynaecology, there being three maternity departments for 97,251 inhabitants in the area concerned. The main aspects of the division are examined. It is shown that implementation will only be possible if there is a usership capable of feeding every branch of the structure set up. It is suggested that the specialist activities of obstetrics and gynaecology be concentrated at Susa and Avigliana, though oven this division will not ensure a proper flow of users. The position could be improved by better employment of the basic structures, i.e. the consulting surgeries and SAUB out-patient departments.
