Collaborative efforts and coalitions have replaced exclusivity as birth organizations and individuals unite to humanize birth and provide women with transparency of information about maternity care providers and facilities and about access to the midwifery model of care. The Coalition for Improving Maternity Services and the upcoming 2010 "Mega Conference" to jointly celebrate the 50th anniversaries of Lamaze International and the International Childbirth Education Association serve as excellent examples of collaborative efforts to support natural, safe, and healthy birth practices as well as women's choices in childbirth. Childbirth educators are encouraged to learn from and support national coalitions devoted to improving maternity care and to use local resources to develop their own collaborative efforts on behalf of childbearing families.
随着分娩组织和个人团结起来,致力于使分娩人性化,并为女性提供有关产科护理提供者和设施以及获得助产护理模式的信息透明度,合作努力和联盟已取代了排他性。改善产科服务联盟以及即将召开的2010年“大型会议”,将共同庆祝拉玛泽国际组织和国际分娩教育协会成立50周年,这些都是支持自然、安全和健康分娩实践以及女性分娩选择的合作努力的杰出典范。鼓励分娩教育工作者向致力于改善产科护理的全国性联盟学习并提供支持,并利用当地资源为生育家庭开展自己的合作努力。
