Where is obstetric anesthesiology heading in the next decade? An Eastern European perspective

European countries of “Eastern Block” origin had different economic and healthcare development trajectories after the Berlin Wall fell. In this paper we present the obstetric anesthesia perspective of four different countries, namely Latvia, Poland, the Russian Federation (RF) and Serbia. The differences result from political and economic conditions. Latvia and Poland are European Union (EU) members and are classified as high-income economies. The RF is a non-EU country classified as an upper-middle income economy, but the recent invasion of Ukraine has resulted in the country's isolation and has had an economi c impact.
