There is great evidence to support improved maternal and neonatal outcomes when a patient delivers in a center that is suited to the needs of both the birthing person and the fetus. As rural centers have closed, access remains challenging. This manuscript examines The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) challenges, needs of rural hospitals including education, and elaborates further upon the need to expand maternal transport in rural areas to improve outcomes in the future. |
