Hungary for change

Article Abstract:

A midwife describes the maternity services in Hungary, including the inflexibility of obstetric practice and high staffing levels compared to UK standards. Both doctors and health visitors have a much higher status than midwives in Hungary, and midwives work wholly in hospitals. Proposed changes in medical care such as a new insurance system, are discussed.
