Z Gesamte Inn Med

Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung in Niedersachsen, Meppen.

Published: April 1991

Current discussions on differences of opinion in respect of interpretation of the Federal German Maternity Protection legislation revealed certain difficulties in distinguishing between inability to work and regulations that prohibit a pregnant woman to work or to request her to perform work.

The author describes criteria that can be used in expert judgment whenever there are legal doubts, with particular reference also high-risk pregnancies.
