Claiming that hospital births aren’t safe sets a dangerous precedent

the Danish Society for Patient Safety warns Moderhuset Maia, a private midwifery company advocating home births. Society director Inge Kristensen says, “It is a dangerous trend. Because the maternity services that are available must complement and support each other. They should not oppose each other. Everyone must contribute to the (public healthcare) system, including the private midwives.” Inge’s comments come in the wake of parents who have used Moderhuset Maia’s services and claimed that the company badmouths hospital births, the public healthcare system in Denmark and instills fear into parents, forcing the latter to opt for home births.
