Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter, we present the Nordic countries and people, and the Nordic welfare model. Maternity care and midwifery within the welfare state model are presented, and challenges in Nordic midwifery are discussed. Organisation of maternity care is in some aspects fairly similar in the Nordic countries but there are differences between and within countries. However, all countries have a long tradition of midwifery care with professional and licensed midwives practising autonomously and being the most central healthcare professional in maternity care.
