In order to occupy a management position in a public maternal and child protection establishment or consultation, persons who are not doctors must meet the conditions for practising the profession of nursery nurse.
The same provision applies to private bodies which support or supplement the work of the public authorities in this area and receive financial assistance from the State or local authorities.
However, by way of derogation, the management of antenatal consultations may be entrusted to persons fulfilling the conditions for practising the profession of midwife.
