Description

The Best Country to Give Birth?: Midwifery, Homebirth and the Politics of Maternity in Aotearoa New Zealand, 1970-2022 Author: Linda Bryder ISBN: 9781776711086

In 2012, following his investigation of the deaths of two babies in childbirth at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton coroner Gordon Matenga asked, 'Does New Zealand have the safe, world-leading system the Government says we do, or are we losing babies because the balance has swung too far towards the idea that because childbirth is natural, then the philosophy of "non-intervention" is best?' 'Babies' deaths reignite maternity row', the New Zealand Herald announced.'
