  • Freelance midwives face up to 40% income reductions, prompting the entire team at Rottweil Helios Clinic to resign by March 2026.

  • Long postpartum visits receive better pay, whereas short visits and quick consultations via messages are often uncompensated, complicating daily work.

  • Economic risks have led many midwives to cancel preparatory and postnatal courses, worsening the existing shortage of midwives.
  • We are only getting 12 percent more pay, we cannot be satisfied with that.
