RU486, warning the government to the regions: consequences for those who fail to comply criteria
Undersecretary Roccella: irregular voluntary resignation of the patients. 'Become abortion at home "
ROME - They sound as a warning to regional guidelines for the abortion pill on the table from yesterday's departments and governors. The undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Eugenia Roccella, was clear: "We respect the autonomy of local authorities. We point out however that those who were to apply clinical protocols that allow the resignation of women after taking the first pill undergo irregularities. "
"ABORTION AT HOME '- The message can not be interpreted that as a reminder. The fear of the Fund, is "sliding toward abortion at home." So the commitment of the ASL would be to follow the directions in the document where it is stated a principle: the RU486 has the same level of security surgical abortion if administered in the hospital inpatient ordinary (three days) and under health surveillance, in accordance with Law 194 on the voluntary interruption of pregnancy.
TENDENCY TO DAY HOSPITAL - Still no official data are available based on the use of the drug mifepristone. From media reports, however, appear in most cases, unlike what happened in the months of experimentation that preceded the approval of the product and distribution in Italy (April 2010), she prefers to be protected after taking the first pill. The protocol provides for 48 hours after a second pill, based on prostaglandins, which is necessary for the completion of abortion. According Roccella 'resignation mean giving up the treatment, but in this case is not: we have communicated to the regions that there is a critical issue that could lead to administrative problems at the level of reimbursement of benefits from the public service. " Moreover, the Secretary insists, allow the woman to return to means to soften the home surveillance on abortion, yet guaranteed by law 194. Governors should support protocols that are incompatible with those of the Ministry is also remembered that "could be subject to legal disputes." In fact the only region, which expressly stated the day hospital as a form of assistance related to RU486 is Emilia Romagna. The other Italian Asl provide for hospitalization on paper but is almost never performed because the patients prefer to go home.
the guidelines - The 'guidelines on the voluntary interruption of pregnancy 'as their own the communication received on 6 November by Welfare Minister Maurizio Sacconi to the European Commission where he insisted on a fundamental point: the rule of law is a priority and the entire path 194 abortion should begin and be completed in hospital. The document contains a series of recommendations to promote the responsible use of the pill through the signing of a detailed informed consent and understood by foreign species. They reaffirm that the minors should be allowed by their parents rather than the trial judge. The criteria for admission to medical treatment, "the willingness to hospitalization until completion of the procedure. Willingness to carry out remote control within 14-21 days after discharge. " Among the clinical criteria are not a woman's ability to self-manage "the therapeutic process," even on a psychological and its social and housing conditions (it is good that you live not far from the emergency room).
