Mr. Chairman, traditional and medical methods can work together in a number of areas. Childbirth is one of these. Many women want the option of deciding how and where to deliver their babies. Options include the use of midwives and other local resources in addition to regional hospitals. Women should be able to make an informed choice between these options. Adequate information should be available to assist women in making these decisions. Women's groups should be part of the process to develop legislation needed to achieve this goal.
