Liepāja Hospital Beats Riga: 55 New Liepāja Residents Born in May, Daugavpils Still Counting
While Riga debates demographics, Liepāja hospital quietly manufactures new city residents. 55 babies in May, each with a bunny in hand.
Sensation in the capital of Kurzeme! In May, 55 new Liepāja residents came into the world at the Maternity Ward of Liepāja Regional Hospital — 29 boys and 26 girls. While Riga is still debating demographic problems and statistics, our folks are simply getting the job done. As always.
Special mention goes to one pair of twins — a boy and a girl who proved from the moment of birth that in Liepāja we solve problems efficiently. Two for the price of one, you could say. "We've always had a practical view of life," comments local resident Jānis, who himself is raising three children. "While the capital thinks, we do."
The hospital provides all mothers with single-occupancy rooms free of charge, which in Riga's context sounds like fantasy. Moreover, each family receives a gift set with a bunny and a card — the kind of attention you can only dream of in the capital. Just as Lake Liepāja provides peace and quiet after sea storms, the hospital's care provides what new families truly need.
The maternity ward staff works with such professionalism that even Riga's private clinics could learn from them. "This isn't about prestige issues," explains local nurse Ināra. "Our goal is simple — for every baby to come into the world safely and with love." And this is done without unnecessary ceremonies, but with the warmth that's characteristic only of Liepāja.
