在1990年,Stephenson P 曾指出:“在美国谁应该向妇女、婴儿和学龄前儿童提供卫生服务,以及怎样负担其费用?这已不是一个需要进一步研究的课题。国内外有大量的信息来帮助决策,目前所需要的和制定政策是行动而不是研究”。谁应该提供保健妇女保健除美国和加拿大以外,每一个发达国家的妇女保健系统都有两类提供基础保健的卫生人员:一类是助产士(很少是通科医生) In 1990, Stephenson P pointed out: “Who should provide health services to women, infants and preschool children in the United States, and how to pay for them? This is not a topic that needs further study. There is a lot of information at home and abroad to help. Decision-making, current needs and policy formulation are actions rather than research.” Who should provide health care?
