Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This presentation explores the current landscape of perinatal health in Canada using national data sources, including the Canadian Perinatal Surveillance System (CPSS) and CIHR patient experience metrics. It examines childbirth practices, maternal and infant outcomes, and the increasing rate of low-risk Caesarean sections. The session highlights key quality indicators—such as hospital readmission rates and obstetric trauma—and emphasizes the role of patient-reported experiences in shaping respectful, evidence-based, and equitable maternity care.
