It has long been recognized, well-known fact of insufficiency of maternity institutions large and small in the mountains. Warsaw is still a sad phenomenon, and nothing has been done to eliminate it. Hundreds of unfortunate poor women in childbirth annually knock the doorsteps of maternity establishments, asking for asylum, which is necessary in their condition, requiring fast, urgent help. Many receive appropriate help, are accepted and cared for in these institutions, but even more leave with refusal and wander in agony, at any time of the day or night, in horror that their birth will be overtaken on the road. That such cases are not rare, everyone knows. What is being done with those hundreds of victims of the inadequacy of our maternity facilities, we do not know - we only know the fact of a large% of illnesses and deaths from childbirth fever in women who are resolved outside maternity facilities.
