Nonfinancial barriers to prenatal care.
This article focused on nonfinancial barriers to prenatal care and pointed out that these barriers cannot be ignored if access to care is to be improved. The strategies suggested by the Consensus Conferences for reducing these barriers provide abundant opportunities for all professionals, and the implications for health policy formulated by the Conferences provide direction for eventually eliminating the barriers. It will take a combination of professional, political and public will to make this happen.
