Hello,
I did my masters on where women travel to birth in rural New Zealand and
simply there is no evidence.
In New Zealand some women are 4 hours+ drive time from a base hospital and
even with helicopters it takes several hours to transfer. In places like
Canada and Australia these distances are even greater. 45 minutes sounds
amazing!
Again no evidence – even the “golden hour” rule for trauma care isn’t based
on scientific evidence.
