The Geneva Declaration on Perinatal Care

‶As medical practitioners and researchers, we declare that the term “incompatible with life” is not a medical diagnosis and should not be used when describing unborn children who may have a life-limiting condition.

We acknowledge that there exists no medical necessity to terminate such pregnancies in an otherwise healthy mother.

We fully support the development of perinatal hospice services for families who are told that their unborn child may not live for very long in the womb or after birth.″

The Declaration is available here

The official launch for the Declaration will take place in the United Nations in Geneva on the 11th March 2015.

Thanking You in Advance,
Kind Regards,

Prof Eamon O’Dwyer
Chairperson to the Committee on Excellence in Maternal Healthcare
