Dear Midwives,
I am currently working on a MPH at the Nordic School of Public Health. M
topic is concerning referral of women from their isolated local health
centres to a referral hospitals. I live and work in Greenland.The two
focus points are the cultural aspect of leaving isolated greenlandic
communities where the language and the cultural is one and being
transferred to a referral hospital in the same country but where the
language and the culture is european. The second focus is the
psychological aspect when women are separated from their families during
childbirth and the perinatal period. How does this effect them.
I would appreciate any suggestions to literature or people to contact
concerning the subjects stated.
Sincerly,
Ruth Montgomery
Midwife
