Rural Health Care, Obstetrics/Perinatal Care
Recognizing that a deepening crisis currently exists in access to perinatal care in rural areas and that this crisis has the potential of significantly increasing perinatal morbidity and mortality, the AAFP supports actions by governmental and private agencies, as well as by other professional organizations, directed at defining the causes of the crisis and formulating possible solutions.
The AAFP further reaffirms its willingness to participate with other organizations in joint efforts to respond to this crisis by defining ways that family physicians in rural areas can deal with the professional liability crisis and other financing and delivery system issues so they can continue to provide quality obstetrical/perinatal care.
