A
HUGE congratulations to Professor Gus Dekker and the
team at Lylle Mac in SA on the wonderful presentation on the Mother Carer
program held at Parliament House today.
The current outcomes give
great promise to a program that will benefit birthing women and families in our
community.
We are so lucky to have
such a wonderful man as Gus Dekker. His very tactful (and
entertaining) presentation focused on the all points highlighted by the all too
vocal critic from 6 months ago. BTW, the 'G' was left out of the "Dr"
pic!
The heart felt
recommendation from the wonderfully brave mother was justification
enough of the validity of this program. I think her response made the
call for a randomised blind trial as futile and pointless.
It never ceases to amaze me
that critics of women focused care always want to have it 'proven' by means of
trials...when in fact they continue to ignore the evidence best practice of
maternity care in this current environment; that is the medical model of
control. Opps, I meant to say 'care'.
Again, thanks for the
report on the success of the Mother Carer program and let's hope that the
expansion of this program will happen swiftly and without needless bureaucratic
red tape! Also, thanks to Frances Bedford for facilitating the day!
A initiative of this type is the perfect 'desert' to the NMAP menu!
cheers
