Proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel
Definition
According to the Danish Health Data Authority, Denmark does not produce continuous and official statistics on the number of births assisted by healthcare professionals. However, all pregnant women are offered free assistance from trained healthcare professionals. According to data from the Danish Medical Birth Registry, more than 95% of all births each year take place in hospitals with assistance from trained healthcare professionals. The remaining births occur either in private clinics, at home, or in other settings (with or without assistance from trained healthcare professionals).
