Perinatal Registration

Unless you object, your data will also be registered and processed in the perinatal registration. In perinatal registration, data from obstetricians, gynecologists, and pediatricians are linked and anonymized. This non-traceable data is then used to provide insight into the quality of care and to improve care. More information about the processing of this data can be found on the website of perined. 

After your maternity period,  you will receive a questionnaire by email to measure your experience. Please let us know if you have any questions or objections.
