This issue of our journal includes a reflection article on differences observed in the quality of healthcare during childbirth. These differences have a negative impact on pregnant women of lower income brackets, adolescents, and women with high risk pregnancies. Ideally, labour and delivery should be a “gratifying experience” which, apart from applying the best evidenced-based practices, involves “respecting the physiology of childbirth; intervening only when necessary; identifying, understanding and respecting the social and cultural background of the mother; providing emotional support; granting decision-making power to the pregnant woman, and ensuring autonomy and privacy” (1). These should be the  criteria used for assessing quality of care during birth, as part of a broad humanistic approach. This implies  consideration not only of the traditional quality criteria, but of other domains such as human rights, cultural background, and basic ethical principles.
