On-hand Midwives

Currently we cannot offer assistance with the birth through a freelance on-hand midwife.

Perhaps you have read in the press that an overwhelming number of on-hand midwives are not paid sufficient to sustain the profession (increased liability insurance costs being the main factor) and consequently forced to give up their freelance activities.

This clinic is among the first to express regret at this situation. We can only hope that politicians and society begin to rethink over this matter and give parents-to-be the chance for a choice of having a freelance on-hand midwife in attendance around the birth.
