Push for more normal deliveries


MANY first-time mothers looking for a good doctor to deliver their babies are at a disadvantage in Malaysia. Not only are they worried about whether they would have a happy birth experience, they also have almost no reliable information about the doctor who would be doing the delivery.

Many experienced doctors have abandoned deliveries and those who remain tend to lean towards Caesarean sections mainly because of defensive medicine. The premium on medical indemnity for obstetrics can cost up to RM100,000 per annum.
