WHO, Safe Motherhood and human rights

Provision of appropriate maternity care tailored to the needs of the individual woman should be a basic human right. Of course, it is hard to achieve this when a health care system is trying to manage a multitude of women utilising their services at any one time. This is where the routines and protocols come in as a way of attempting to get some kind of order into what could become chaos, especially in hospitals where women must be cared for by staff they have never met and in conditions that are far from personal, let alone intimate.

The World Health Organisation has a useful free publication that explores the issues of human rights in the context of the necessity for health systems to operate with some degree of efficiency and safety. Called “Advancing Safe Motherhood through Human Rights” it has been produced with “the intention .... to facilitate initiatives by governmental agencies, non-governmental groups and, for instance, international organizations to foster compliance with human rights in order to protect, respect and fulfil women’s rights to safe motherhood.

Well worth a read.
