Maternity services in Grimma are ceasing operations.

In the small town of Grimma, a demonstration took place on Tuesday evening, expressing opposition to the closure plans of the local hospital's delivery room and gynecology department. The march started from the town's market and ended at the hospital, attracting a significant crowd.

The petition against the closure, which has gathered over 45,000 signatures in just one week, was handed over to Health Minister Petra Köpping and District Administrator Henry Graichen during the demonstration. The petition was likely organized by those opposed to the closure, including the midwives active in Grimma who are against the hospital's closure.

The Grimma hospital's delivery room and gynecology department are vacating due to economic reasons. However, the petition and the demonstration aim to highlight the importance of these services to the community and the potential hardships that the closure could bring.

While the search results do not provide any information on the names of active midwives in Grimma protesting against the hospital closure plans, it is clear that they are a significant part of the opposition.

In response to the demonstration and the petition, the Muldental clinics have announced plans to expand in Wurzen for the purpose of obstetrics and gynecology. It remains to be seen whether this expansion will be enough to address the concerns of the Grimma community and ensure continued access to essential healthcare services.

As the situation develops, the community will continue to watch closely and await a decision from the Health Minister and District Administrator on the future of the Grimma hospital's delivery room and gynecology department.
