Hello listers, I've received this message from a doctor in Italy. THey could sure use some help over there - can anyone send him some details? Please reply to him off the list... ---------------------- From: "Dott. Angelo Scuderi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I would like very much to know more about birth centres in Australia. I was not able to know very much about birth centres in U.K. : not how many they are, nor statistics about them. I should like to know how many birth centres you have in Australia. I should like to know how many 'stand alone' birth centres (not next to a hospital) there are. Also I should like to know as much as possible about perinatal deaths or women's death in birth centres. How do you define a birth centres? I am trying to set up with a group of midwives a public 'stand alone' birth centres in Florence-Italy. Of course when the birth centre will be set there will be no doctors. So doctors, politicians, administrators and even many midwives, are against it and say that it will be a disaster for women and babies. I thank you for helping me to know more about birth centres and some statistics. You are very kind. ------------------------ Thank you all, Andrea ----- Andrea Robertson Birth International * ACE Graphics * Associates in Childbirth Education e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: www.birthinternational.com -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
