As an Ob/Gyn for over 25 years I understand the importance of safety precautions to protect patients. The regulations as written do not increase protection of women's health. By creating onerous regulations that far exceed regulations required for facilities performing procedures of similar risk, these regulations will require closure of many facilities with clear documentation of quality and safety. This will result in denial of access for many other kinds of healthcare services to women such as cancer screening and birth control. Please allow the Board of Health to review and modify the regulations to bring them in line with the advice of medical experts. Thank you.
