Family Practitioner Participation in Routine Antenatal Care in Israel: What Hospital Gynaecologists Think

MELVYN H BROOKS

Tel Shalom, Pardess Hanna-Karkur, 37000, Israel

Antenatal care by family practitioners in Israel is unusual. Patient demand, increasing tendency to specialization, high doctor to patient ratio and historical reasons all partly explain the phenomenon. A postal survey of the heads of 34 delivery units was carried out to find out their attitude towards such care and to a proposed follow-up card. Twenty per cent of the gynaecologists surveyed were in favour of antenatal care by family practitioners, a higher figure than the author had anticipated. The role of the family practitioner in antenatal care is discussed.
