Any competition between midwives and doctors, pharmacists, medical auxiliaries or any other persons, even those not involved in medicine, is prohibited.
Competition is understood to mean intelligence between two or more persons with a view to obtaining advantages to the detriment of the patient or third parties.
It is forbidden for a midwife to give consultations in commercial premises, unless an exemption has been granted by the Conseil Départemental de l’Ordre, as well as in any premises where medicines, products or appliances that the midwife prescribes or uses are offered for sale, and in the outbuildings of such premises.
