Hi all, you may be aware that the Flinders Medical Centre's (FMC) neonatal intensive care centre is to be closed and all bubs are to be cared for at Woman's and Childrens Hospital.
Women who are concerened about the impact of this have organised a rally for Wed 12th March (tomorrow)in the front foyer of the FMC, Flinders Drive, at 10 am for a 10.30 start. As many people as possible present will be good to let them know how important this is to Adelaide's families. The media and MP's have been invited. There are two petitions going around, one is to be presented to the House of Assembly in the near future, tomorrow is a good opurtunity to get your name down. Apart from the obvious, there are many good reasons not to support this closure, separation of mother and baby, long distance to travel for those in the South, no helicopter pad at W&CH ( longer transfer time), Obstetricians will have their rooms cetrally located in the city (more travel for South), the list goes on. Hoping to see you there, Megan Resch. Can you please pass this info on to those who may be interested. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
