Labour rooms in government hospitals have become a theatre for a battle between midwives and nurses --with the conflict affecting pregnant women in the throes of labour, the Sunday Times learns.
Midwives have been assisting the medical team in labour rooms headed by a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist during normal deliveries for many decades.
However, in recent times nurses who only have a cursory exposure to midwifery during their training have been demanding that they should be allowed to do the job, a hospital source said. This source pointed out that like midwives, nurses too had specific tasks in the labour room.
Every member of the team in the labour room is important and has a task to perform that is equally important for the safe delivery and health of both the mother and the baby, another source said, explaining that there was no issue of one group upstaging the other.
