[Efficient organisational structures of in-patient and out-patient practice for satisfactory gynecologico-obstetric attention (author's transl)].

The strong need for integrated management of gynaecologico-obstetric attention as well as the role played by interdisciplinary cooperation as a prerequisite for high-continuity medico-social services are expounded against the background of health policies established for the current period up to 1980 and with close reference to experience obtained in every-day practice. The introduction of demand-oriented organisational forms by which to enhance the standards and effectiveness of health care for mother and child is essential to the general practice of sociogynaecology.
