TY - JOUR T1 - Home deliveries in Holland JF - The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO - J R Coll Gen Pract SP - 244 LP - 248 VL - 26 IS - 165 AU - Frans J. Huygen Y1 - 1976/04/01 UR - http://bjgp.org/content/26/165/244.abstract N2 - In the Netherlands a majority of all deliveries take place at home. The perinatal mortality rate is better than that reported from the United ffiingdom, probably because obstetric care in hospital is more active and aggressive. Dutch midwives play an important role and the specially trained home helps are most successful. I believe that, provided case selection is rigorous, many women are best delivered at home. ER -
