Description
Shuby Puthussery and co-authors make the case for respectful maternity care as a global norm in a 2023 editorial. Respectful care treats a woman's autonomy and rights as central through pregnancy and birth, and it counts as a basic human right tied to better outcomes for mothers and newborns. Yet women in many places still meet disrespect and abuse in childbirth care. The editorial points to a missing piece: shared international guidelines for putting respectful care into practice, so health systems everywhere can be held to one standard.
