Selangor is a private hospital that endeavours to provide 'birth centre type
care' to all women who go there to give birth. It is a hybrid, I guess. Not
perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but women who have had previous
difficult births and interventions (prev Caes, etc) have access to asmuch
midwifery input as possible through midwife clinics, which are now running 5
days a week, and fully booked. We aim to provide as much continuity of care
as possible as well,which is a challenge but can be done, albeit not nearly
as well as 'caseload' (got to find a betterword)practice and women are not
excluded from using water for labour and birth either, except for rare
instances.
Cheers, Lynne

is that the way Selangor on the Sunshine Coast works?

Subject: [ozmidwifery] public-private birth centres
Hi everyone, we have been approached by a doc here in the south west of
WA about establishing a public/private birth centre, I am not aware of
one in Australia but I could be wrong, if so could someone let me know
how it works and any suggestions or thoughts on how it should work would
be greatly appreciated.
Yours in midwifery,
Pete Malavisi
