Mother Friendly Hospital

The World Health Organization launched the 'Baby Friendly Hospital' program in 1991, encouraging breastfeeding after birth. In our country, many hospitals from the public and private sectors volunteered for this program and won the title of Baby-Friendly Hospital.
When we look at the history of the birth process, it is remarkable that the mother-to-be was pushed out of action, often did not take an active part in the decision process, and the incredible increase in cesarean rates, especially in the last fifty years.
Whereas;
- Birth is normal, natural, and an event.
- Babies are aware and sensitive during birth.
- The birth environment and the approach of the team can increase/decrease the self-confidence and calmness of the expectant mother during the birth process.

The CIMS (Coalition for Improving Maternity Services Development Coalition, which was gathered in the USA in 1996, published and put into practice the 'Mother-Friendly Care Guide'. The guide was updated and finalized in 2007. The aim is to prevent unnecessary medical interventions and to provide the expectant mother with a higher quality, safe and the delivery of humane maternity services.Anne Dostu Hastanesi olmamızdaki amacımız:
