A journalist sensationalise?! No way

The situation is pretty bad though, I have heard some heartbreaking stories of mothers in regional areas having to leave town a few weeks before their baby is born to be near a hospital, and not able to afford to bring their family with them.

Midwifery-led care is a great option because many women will have low-risk pregnancies and will be fine, then in the case of high risk, you would of course transfer. But like you see above, people are starting to sue for problems with caesareans, one of the midwives I spoke to said only last week, a mother arrested on the table while being closed up from her caesarean. Not to scare anyone, but to show that it certainly isn't the be all and end all to have high tech. High tech and high standards of care are two completely different things, but are often mixed up. Getting women to trust the process is a tricky feat in the current climate. We are blessed to have high tech for life saving emergencies, but thankfully, it isn't always required. WHO says 10-15% as the article states.
