> The system works really well, and I've heard it be credited for the Netherlands' low infant mortality rate. Do not agree. Netherlands has remarkably poor statistics when accounting for total incidents and outcome from the months before and after births. They have more than double the shit rate compared to other high quality healthcare western European countries. Anecdotally I've heard this attributed to the custom of having close to 30%(?) of births done at home, which is an outlier and increases risks of poor outcome when complications arise. But parent's notes on assistance post natal is probably correct and a very good thing.
