Article R6123-47 of the French Public Health Code

Obstetrics is carried out in facilities authorised for gynaecology-obstetrics.

When an establishment with an obstetrics unit does not have an adult intensive care unit, it enters into an agreement, subject to the approval of the Director General of the Regional Health Agency, with an establishment that does have such a unit. Any healthcare establishment practising obstetrics and treating identified high-risk maternal pregnancies must have an adult intensive care unit where the mother can be admitted in the event of an emergency, and a neonatal intensive care unit.

Article R6123-47

L’obstétrique s’exerce dans des installations autorisées en gynécologie-obstétrique.

Lorsqu’un établissement ayant une unité d’obstétrique ne dispose pas d’une unité de réanimation d’adultes, il passe une convention, soumise à l’approbation du directeur général de l’agence régionale de santé, avec un établissement comportant une telle unité. Tout établissement de santé pratiquant l’obstétrique et traitant des grossesses à hauts risques maternels identifiés dispose d’une unité de réanimation d’adultes permettant d’y accueillir la mère en cas d’urgence et d’une unité de réanimation néonatale.
