The Alliance for Improving Maternity Services

The goal of the ALLIANCE is to bring about a reduction of birth injury and trauma in newborns and their mothers through the sharing of scientific information and public information. They offer a wealth of information, including the Pregnant Patient’s Bill of Rights, a detailed document outlining what a pregnant woman should expect in terms of care.
