RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Home deliveries in Holland JF The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO J R Coll Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 244 OP 248 VO 26 IS 165 A1 Frans J. Huygen YR 1976 UL http://bjgp.org/content/26/165/244.abstract AB 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.
