Celebrated Obstetrician Dr. Maria Pollacci Continues to Deliver Joy in Northern Italy
Dr. Maria Pollacci, a renowned obstetrician from Pedavena, Italy, was recently honoured at the San Remo Music Festival for her exceptional 72-year career, during which she has delivered 7,642 babies.
Born in Lama Mocogno, a picturesque town in the province of Modena, Dr. Pollacci began her remarkable journey on Sept. 3, 1945. Her passion for her profession has never wavered, and she continues to work tirelessly in Pedavena, delivering new lives with the same love, passion, and professionalism she has always embodied.
One of the most memorable moments in Dr. Pollacci's career was the birth of her first baby, Francesco, in 1949. The two crossed paths again when Francesco was 25 years old, and since then, he has visited Dr. Pollacci every year.
Dr. Pollacci views her role as an obstetrician as a mission and a beautiful one at that. She believes that to be successful in this field, one needs love, passion, and professionalism. This philosophy is evident in the way she treats each newborn and their parents, considering the babies she has delivered as her second children.
In her hometown of Pedavena, boys and girls born under Dr. Pollacci's care often visit her at her home. One such visit resulted in a heartwarming moment when a handsome young man, who was once delivered by Dr. Pollacci, asked her to dance with him.
As of 2017, Francesco, the first baby delivered by Dr. Maria Pollacci, is 72 years old. Despite her advanced age, Dr. Pollacci shows no signs of slowing down. She continues to work in Pedavena, Italy, and is still receiving newborns.
Dr. Maria Pollacci's story is a testament to the beauty and importance of her profession. Her dedication, love, and passion for her work have touched the lives of countless families, making her a beloved figure in her community and beyond.
