dc.description.abstract |
Introduction: The article describes the current Czech legal regulation of the area
of confidential births with respect to actions that must be taken by healthcare providers,
covering all phases including adoption, foster care or institutional care of the child, with an
emphasis placed on the social and legal protection of children. Furthermore, the paper
describes the controversy concerning real maternal anonymity.
Objective: The aim of the article is to describe the current Czech health and social legislative
theory and practice in the field of confidential births and subsequent care.
Method: With regards to the theoretical nature of the article, the methods of analysis and
compilation of expert texts were used.
Results: The current Czech legal regulation allows women to give a so-called confidential
birth. Healthcare institutions have specific procedures in place, respecting the relevant legal
regulations concerning the subject matter. Nevertheless, the mother continuously faces
a disclosure of her identity in the course of guardianship-related proceedings regarding
placing the child for adoption, into foster care or institutional care. Under the existing legal
regulation, comprehensive legal approaches to confidential births and aftercare are set to
protect the anonymity of the mother, but not entirely.
Conclusion: The current system of law enables women to give confidential births in official
healthcare facilities. However, real anonymity is not guaranteed due to the disclosure of the
mother’s identity while reporting the provided health care to the health insurance company
and in the course of legal guardianship proceedings concerning the child. |
