Viral video Jak jinak Another way to pee Provokující video: Rodit je stejně přirozené, jako jít na záchod Představte si, že jdete na záchod na malou a najednou vás obklopí lékaři a sestry. Položí vás na lehátko, zapnou blikající a pípající monitory a nutí vás, abyste pod jejich dozorem potřebu vykonali. Že by vám to nešlo? Herci Pavlu Liškovi ve videu, s nímž přišla iniciativa Jak jinak, také ne. Autoři kampaně se tímto způsobem snaží upozornit na to, že ve zdejších porodnicích porod stále ještě připomíná nemocniční zákrok, ačkoli mnohé matky by bez neustálých zásahů lékaři dokázaly porodit snáze.

Foundation of VODAFONE - ROK JINAK Won a competition Project "Jak jinak" got into the final of the competition "Roku jinak" of thevodafone Foundation. Získali jsme Divokou kartu prostřednictvím hlasování. Our effort was supported by 5453 people. We got another professional into our team a project manager Anna Vršník. V projektu "Jak jinak" chceme kromě jiného vytvořit funkční model primární porodní péče, jak ho známe z vyspělých zemí EU, kde o většinu rodiček pečuje samostatná porodní asistentka. Také se snažíme o to, aby práce porodní asistentky byla uznávanou autonomní profesí a jejich služby proplácely pojišťovny. Ženy tak budou mít možnost volby místa a způsobu porodu a zároveň bude zajištěno bezpečí pro ně i miminko. Nedílnou součástí naší práce je i osvěta odborníků i laické veřejnosti o tom, že těhotenství a porod jsou zdravé a přirozené procesy.
How to implement changes? Examples of good practice Denmark, Canada, United Kingdom, and others Inspiration - New Zealand and its situation 20 years ago simmilar to ours, what made the change, etc. DISTRIBUTION OF RELEVANT INFORMATION (within professionals as within society) PROFESIONALISATION OF NETWORKS COOPERATION
