産科医が減り続け、産科医療が危機に陥っている。 Obstetric care in crisis as the number of obstetricians continues to fall. 訴訟リスクの高さも産科医にのしかかる。 Obstetricians also bear a high risk of suits. 産科医に加え、助産師も不足と我が国の産科医療が極めて深刻な状況にあることが改めて浮き彫りになった。 With a shortage of midwives added to that of obstetricians it has become clear all over again that our country's obstetric care is in an extremely grave situation. 産科・婦人科の計６１床も満床で、受け入れは不可能と答えたという。 They replied that because all 61 beds in the obstetrics/gynaecology department were full, no admissions were possible. これは、実話でありますが、或る婦人がお産のために評判のいい産科医院に入院しました。 This is a true story. A woman was admitted to a reputed obstetrics clinic to give birth.
