Dr. Patty DeMaio, chief of maternal care at the Qikiqtani General Hospital, talks to reporters in the hospital lobby May 20 to mark the second anniversary of the “More OB” program. The international three-year program aims to improve patient care of pregnant women and their babies. DeMaio said the program, which is entering its final year, has been a huge success, evidenced by high patient satisfaction rates and one of the lowest rates of cesarean-section deliveries in North America.
