Whose Agenda and Whose Destiny?

Whose Agenda and Whose Destiny?

The presentation will explore data from several countries on challenges service users encounter when navigating a difference of opinion with caregivers about the right care for themselves or their babies. They report both short and long term impacts of disarticulation when they interact with unresponsive providers or health systems. This presentation will explore power dynamics, respect, cultural safety, and health systems responsibilities to center the priorities, values, and autonomy of the birth giver.
