The Shameful State of Maternity Care in Serbia A months long investigation into childbirth in Serbia has uncovered a disturbing pattern of inhumane treatment and outdated medical practices that leave women feeling traumatized and their dignity shattered.
The findings, which include widespread use of procedures not recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), highlight the need for reform in the country's maternity care system.
The experiences of these women intersect with broader societal trends in Serbia, including a decline in trust in institutions and a rise in nationalist sentiment over the past decade.
