In a bid to totally remove risk (which is not possible), we have made pregnancy and birth unnecessarily tedious and costly and created new risks to boot.
To make our health system patient-centred, efficient and cost-effective, the aim should be to deliver appropriate care in the right place at the right time with the right health professional.
Profound cultural change is required – and what better place to start than by tackling the leading cause of hospitalization and in-patient surgery.
Pregnancy and birthing are part of a normal physiological process that should be celebrated. Bringing a child into the world should be beautiful and memorable, messy and magical.
Why have we reduced it to a series of billable acts where moms-to-be are institutionalized and the process is unnecessarily medicalized?
Mothers and their babies deserve better.
