Lessons at Tuba City Hospital, Run by Navajos, About Births - NYTimes.com
Here's what doctors have to say about how Midwives in a Native American Hospital in Arizona are successful with lowering the C-section rate:
Dr. Kathleen Harner, an obstetrician in Tuba City, said: “Midwives are better at being there for labor than doctors are. Midwives are trained for it. It’s what they want to do.”
Dr. Amanda Leib, the director of obstetrics and gynecology at Tuba City, said: “I think the midwives tend to be patient. They know the patients well, and they don’t have to leave at 5 to get home for a golf game or a tennis game. As crass as that sounds, I do think it has some influence.”
