title: [Changes in obstetrics--retrospect and prospects].
abstract: The panorama in obstetrics has completely changed during this century in our regions. It is characterized by a dramatic decrease of births, a high rate of deliveries in hospitals with extensive decentralization, obstetrical management by doctors with the assistance of midwives, a high level of technicalization, continuous improvement of the performances and an increase in legal regulations.
