Today we  went and met with Marianne,  a midwife at “Ö” hospital. We saw two different wards today; the “normal delivery ward” and BB. She said that her vision for the future delivery wards were those that put the woman and the child in the center. More so, she wished for a personal atmosphere in the ward and said that we should work according to 4 keywords; personal, power, joy and color.

For the outside environment she wished for close connection to planned green area, a park, in which the patient could take a walk, rest, breath and maybe sit on a bench and eat an ice-cream.
She wants the patients to be met by staff when they enter the building and requested calming waiting area in close connection to the entrance but outside the ward. She explained; one waiting area should be dedicated only to patient and their spouse. Relatives and/ friends should wait outside the ward as they could cause stress to the patients.

Marianne told us that the way from the delivery ward to the operation halls should be studied so that it is efficient and private. In case of emergency the ill women should not be seen by those just about to give birth.
She thinks that there are too many delivery rooms at the ward today. Instead of 12 room she would prefer 6 patient rooms per ward. Today each room is  around 21 sqm, most of them one patient rooms,  some 2 patient rooms and one 4 patient room.
In the normal delivery ward she showed us the patient rooms and  gave us a list of necessary things

• All patients should have their own private room with WC, shower and bath.
• Delivery bed for normal sized women/ for overweight women.
• A good sitting/ resting place for spouse/family.
• Adjustable seating for staff (should be able to adjust height)
• Computer/ working spot for the staff. Monitor screen etc.
• Music equipment
• A handle to hold on to/ lean against and hang in to take load of their back.
• A towel wormer machine for the newborns.
• Movable table to place doctors equipment.
• Storage for medical equipment inside the patient room.
• Adjustable light (patient should be able to control light in the room)
