Hospital & Non-Institutional Deliveries

The document compares institutional (hospital) deliveries and non-institutional deliveries. Institutional deliveries take place in hospitals, birthing facilities, and infirmaries, which are better equipped to handle complications but can be more stressful and costly. Non-institutional deliveries occur at home, with midwives or traditional attendants, allowing more control and flexibility but carrying safety risks if complications arise. Philippine policies like AO 2008-0029 and a Quezon City ordinance prohibit home births and require facility-based deliveries with skilled health professionals to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality.
