abstract: 'Objective: In recent decades, governments around the globe have been
under pressure to create more efficient and effective health care
systems. Research shows, particularly in middle- and low-income
countries, that many of these neo-liberal policies that have been
enacted have had a largely negative effect with regard to equitable
health services for lower-income populations and dignified working
conditions for health providers. In this paper we highlight recent
reforms in health care in Canada, focusing on formal care during
pregnancy and childbirth, and compare these to parallel developments in
two Nordic countries - Finland and Iceland.
Method: We draw upon secondary data sources and primary research
findings.
Results: Our comparative analysis pays close attention to barriers in
access to primary care services across the childbearing period for
lower-income women in the three countries, as well as the factors that
create poor working conditions for the predominantly female maternity
care labour force.
Discussion: As Canada struggles to deal with the crisis in its maternity
care system, it could learn from developments in Finland and Iceland
that promote teamwork among primary health care professionals and
high-quality care for lower-income populations.'
