    Area of Science:

    • Maternal Health
    • Healthcare Management
    • Facility Planning

    Background:

    • Discrepancies exist in the definition of 'birth centre' and its distinguishing features from conventional labour suites.
    • Lack of consensus on physical and organizational characteristics complicates facility planning and service delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the varied definitions of birth centres.
    • To examine decision-making processes for locating new birth centres.
    • To emphasize the integration of organizational development and physical planning.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of differing definitions of 'birth centre'.
    • Presentation of two case studies on birth centre location decision-making.
    • Qualitative assessment of stakeholder perspectives.
