Precisamos falar sobre parteiras...

A regulamentação da obstetrícia por parteiras nos Estados Unidos é inconsistente, com um conjunto de regras, leis e títulos difíceis de acompanhar. Uma ginecologista e obstetra certificada, que trabalhou com parteiras nos EUA e atualmente atua na Nova Zelândia, explica que essa confusão dificulta que as pacientes encontrem profissionais capazes de apoiar uma gravidez e um parto seguros. A discussão se baseia em um relatório do Escritório de Prestação de Contas do Governo dos EUA sobre a obstetrícia.

• Os títulos e as regras das parteiras variam entre os estados dos EUA
• As pacientes podem ter dificuldade para identificar profissionais qualificados
• A discussão se baseia em um relatório da GAO sobre a regulamentação

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. However, the confusing regulation (or lack thereof) of midwifery in the United States is downright dangerous. If I, a board-certified obgyn who regularly worked with midwives all the time in the US, am confused by the patchwork of regulations, laws, and titles among midwives in the United States, how are patients supposed to figure out which providers will help them have a safe pregnancy and birth? Let’s discuss.
