Although the concerns of respectful care apply everywhere in the
world, resource-poor settings face
particularly complex issues, as
women may be less familiar with
biomedical concepts and Western
style health systems. Health workers
can be pressurised and demotivated.
The solutions are not simple but one
way of ensuring women are prepared
is to create general awareness and
knowledge of the different methods
used for different kinds of difficulties
during pregnancy and childbirth, not
just during pregnancy but within a
broad educational framework. Birth
planning is another approach used,
which can give time for deliberation
and space for women to let their
preferences be known before they are
in labour or in an emergency situation when they find it difficult to
make choices.
