Abstract
To obtain women's views of obstetric care 400 randomly selected mothers were interviewed postnatally. Since family planning is a constitutional right and all related services free of charge and virtually 100% of pregnant women attend the antenatal clinic, the questions asked were mainly oriented to evaluation of existing obstetric practice. Women were generally satisfied with labor and delivery care (71.2%), but as many as 88.2% of them expressed their dissatisfaction with postnatal care practice. Our women opted for optimal hospital perinatal care - a home-like postnatal care, possibilities for better bonding between mothers and newborn infants and more open, individually oriented communication with medical staff.Keywords
