If a mother has to stay in the hospital for a long time shortly after giving birth, this situation should be specifically regulated by the social security funds. The Council of States tacitly passed a motion from its Commission for Social Security and Health (SGK-S) on Tuesday with this concern.
A longer hospital stay for the newborn and the mother would be treated unequally after complications during childbirth, the committee wrote to justify its initiative. If a newborn has to stay in hospital for at least two weeks immediately after birth, there are specific rules.
However, this does not apply to a longer hospital stay of the mother after childbirth. It is important to take such longer hospital stays into account in maternity leave and maternity pay.
The Federal Council requested that the motion be passed. If the National Council also agrees with the initiative, the state government will be instructed to investigate various options for implementing the request and adjusting the income replacement scheme. (saw/sda)
