About this course
This course examines how the Danish healthcare system cares for mother and child from conception through pregnancy into early childhood. Emphasis is placed on three major areas: medical aspects of a healthy pregnancy including birth and postnatal care, services provided by the welfare system, and cultural values inherent in this system. Topics include the role of the midwife, pain relief, regulations governing maternity leave, and concepts of normality and risk.
