Tenemos que hablar de las parteras...

La regulación de la partería en Estados Unidos es inconsistente, con un conjunto de normas, leyes y títulos difíciles de seguir. Una ginecóloga y obstetra certificada, que ha trabajado con parteras en Estados Unidos y actualmente ejerce en Nueva Zelanda, explica que esta confusión dificulta que las pacientes encuentren profesionales que las acompañen en un embarazo y un parto seguros. La conversación se basa en un informe de la Oficina de Rendición de Cuentas del Gobierno de Estados Unidos sobre la partería.

• Los títulos y las normas de las parteras varían entre los estados de EE. UU.
• Las pacientes pueden tener dificultades para identificar a profesionales cualificados
• La conversación se basa en un informe de la GAO sobre la regulación de la partería

Midwives are a crucial part of healthcare teams around the world - where I’ve worked all over the US, where I currently work in New Zealand, and practically every other country on the planet.

Let’s discuss.
