Abstract
In 2019, the International MotherBaby Childbirth Organization (IMBCO) and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) released The International Childbirth Initiative (ICI): Twelve Steps to Safe and Respectful MotherBaby-Family Maternity Care. The 12 steps reflect the most recent evidence and understanding of what constitutes safe, respectful maternity care. This column presents the 12 steps and describes the process for developing the ICI.
Keywords: evidence-based maternity care; health policy; respectful maternity care; safe maternity care.
