Visit to the Charité obstetrics clinic

The members of the WiB group Science, Research and Medicine accepted an invitation from the director of the Charité Clinic for Obstetrics, Prof. Dr. medical Wolfgang Henrich, to visit his place of work on the Virchow-Klinikum campus on May 3, 2023, where he warmly welcomed them.

After some general information about the development of obstetric medicine in Germany and the history of the Berlin clinic, Professor Henrich gave a very interesting lecture on the topic "C-section versus spontaneous delivery – new methods for the treatment of post partum hemorrhage". Even today, childbirth carries risks and fortunately there are such new treatment approaches that can save lives in an emergency.

After the lecture there was an opportunity to ask numerous questions, which showed the great interest of the diplomatic participants in the topic. At a guided tour by Prof. Dr. Thorsten Braun through the clinic premises, the group members were able to learn more about the various options for facilitating childbirth and convince themselves of the advanced treatment options of this ultra-modern clinic.
