opened Humanized Labor Unit "Threshold of Light" in the Maternal and Child Caricuao, located in the UD7 Ruiz Pineda. The unit looks like a 5 star hotel with meeting spaces for expectant mothers, beautiful rooms with nice beds and a spectacular lingerie. The pink and blue bathroom, equally well designed and bright pastel colors. Kitchen for food warm family maternity cases, a playground for the enjoyment of other children of mothers and the rooms where the ladies will receive preparation courses for delivery. In this regard we interviewed Dr. Peter Colman, advisor of that program, who explained to us that there will be a system different from the traditional care. Apart from that lady has alternatives for delivery in this unit is to have prenatal, postnatal and neonatal care. This is for low-risk cases, we serve a pro-calculated average of 15 births a day. This is the first stage, antepartum care. He stressed that it is unclear when you start the program because they are now in the process of transfer of the hospitals, which are no longer the responsibility of the Mayor but go to the Ministry of Health PP. "
stated that the obstetrics ward was built in front of the theater rooms and delivery, if there is will and budgets of government agencies' estimate that in three months will be inaugurated. " Benefits for women

stated that delivery care has many flats from the standpoint of environment is the physical structure, equipment care and the provision of inputs, then we see that in hospitals there are usually some limitations of these three phases. On the contrary, this unit is organized and designed to provide care differently, to break paradigms. First, the prenatal care that will be personalized with a preparatory course for pregnant women. Second, care delivery, ie there is a staff that will be prepared, aware and informed to give you a different, respecting the rights of women, giving quality care and warmth.
"And the so-called water birth?
"No, water delivery is included, is one of the options for delivery. That is the lady you do your prenatal visit, get your preparation for childbirth and information of all what is the gestation period in the course of preparation that we call "preparation for pregnancy, labor and birth."
In this Unit "is also important to the newborn, not only women but there's a combination that is mother and child. The benefits are primarily for this lady to be treated under conditions different from what we usually see in hospitals. Said there will be a service network to Barrio Adentro modules, but the ladies must come prior to a check to see if we can meet and fall in the unit, but can be handled in the traditional areas that work the hospital. Finally, Dr. Colman said the idea is that this attention different humanized be extended to all the hospital because this is a unit, a pilot study and in a year we will have substantial and what is meant is that all hospitals have a staff trained and sensitized to give proper attention it deserves Venezuelan women.
