Bribery to obtain better quality care was common. Physicians had ...

Проблема высокой материнской смертности касается, прежде всего, наименее развитых стран. Однако и в развитых странах картина далека от идеальной. В богатых странах, где уровень материнской смертности опустился до очень низкой отметки, тем не менее, существует неравенство в доступе к качественной медицинской помощи, далеко не всегда практика оказания помощи соответствует принципам доказательной медицины, а порой даже вредна. Ответственность ...
