First day, this Monday, February 15, of the move of the maternity ward from Bel-Air hospital to the new Woman-Mother-Child hospital. The operation should last the whole week, with, on Tuesday, the transfer of the unit, delivery rooms and gynecological emergencies, Wednesday, gynecology, the department for high-risk pregnancies … and Thursday, pediatrics (hospitalization unit , consultation, etc.). All, of course, without interrupting the care of patients and parturients. With a little luck, the first baby in this brand new maternity hospital could even see the light of day this Tuesday.
“The move was well prepared in advance, in compliance with the precautions due to Covid-19, assures Michaël Vander Maren, health executive, project manager in the care department of the CHR Metz-Thionville. The Covid was not a brake in the process of moving, it just forces us to be extra vigilant. “
The CHR, which called on a specialized company for the removal, can boast of a good experience in this field. In 2012, in Metz, he transferred Bon-Secours to Mercy, then the Sainte-Croix Maternity Hospital to the HFME in Mercy. “We have indeed used our achievements in Metz, with their successes and their failures, to build the Woman-Mother-Child hospital in Thionville,” explains Élisabeth Gloaguen, the director of care. It is the same type of structure as in Metz, although the architecture is different. Here, we are Zen. “

A hotel welcome
Zenitude: the word is on the lips of all caregivers. The teams brought their own touch to the decoration. Neutral colors, greening of certain walls, light wood furniture, simple signage, in white and pink… Everything has been designed to highlight the visual hotel reception, more than a cold and austere hospital welcome.
Like the birth apartment (which completes the five other birth rooms and the three other pre-work rooms, including a natural pre-work room), the idea is to make the patient forget that she is in a hospital. “This apartment is an added value. It respects the physiology of childbirth in a cocooning setting, ”says Noémie Wagner, midwife coordinator in birthing rooms and gyneco-obstetric emergencies.
The two-room apartment includes a bathtub (with bluetooth music please!), A delivery table, a walking area, a ball, rugs, and a dining area where Madame can have lunch with Monsieur.
