Human rights and midwifery.

摘要

Agnes Gereb is an obstetrician in Hungary who was struck off the obstetric list for helping at home births. She became a certified midwife in 2005 and then in 2010 gained a Bachelor of Science degree in midwifery at Semmelweis University. She was detained in a high-security prison in Budapest in October 2010 and charged with "negligent malpractice" and assisting at home births without a licence. She was arrested and put in chains after she called an ambulance when a woman in the prenatal discussion group at her birth center went into preterm precipitate labor and she caught the baby. She had advised the woman not to have a home birth. Mother and baby are both doing well.
