摘要

In Austria, the minimum standard of care for pregnant women is implicitly regulated by the mother–child passport (MKP, now renamed parent–child passport), providing for five gynecological examinations, three of them with ultrasound, a consultation with a midwife, an internal medicine examination, and laboratory tests. There are no binding maternity guidelines as is the case in Germany. Quality control of medical offices/surgeries focuses on structural and process quality, not on diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. There is ongoing controversy concerning prenatal diagnostics, which is not covered by the MKP program but is determined by supreme court “wrongful life” rulings.
