Netherlands' Kraamzorg supports new mothers

The Netherlands offers a unique postnatal care system called Kraamzorg, providing professional support to new mothers at home for 8-10 days after childbirth. This service includes clinical monitoring, health education, emotional support, and practical assistance, with families paying a small copay. The system has been in place since 1923, with midwife training starting in 1900.
