Internal and external swabbing for postpartum women presenting with infection
I would like the government to approve my act PIPA - The Postpartum Infection Prevention Act. This is "To mandate internal and external swabbing for all postpartum women presenting with a vaginal birth-related suture/tear or infection."
To prevent misdiagnosis, recurring infections, potential impacts on future fertility, and life-threatening invasive infections such as Strep A, toxic shock syndrome, or sepsis, implement a mandatory dual-site swabbing protocol (internal and external) for all postpartum patients presenting with suspected suture/tear infections following vaginal delivery.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about the care of postpartum women are a matter for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.
