Romanian hospitals must now allow a companion during labor and delivery, as mandated by a new law. This legislation, initiated by senator Ruxandra Cibu Diaconu, aims to enhance the dignity and privacy of mothers. Medical facilities can no longer refuse access to companions due to space constraints or internal regulations. The law also ensures that newborns remain with their mothers unless there are medical reasons for separation. The initiative followed a media investigation highlighting obstetric violence and received overwhelming support in Parliament. Cibu Diaconu emphasized the importance of this change for women's experiences during childbirth.
