[HUNGARY] Legislation to regulate health workers attending home births has been passed that will allow women to decide where they want to give birth while still ensuring quality obstetric care. The regulation specifies all the duties, responsibilities and competencies of those assisting homebirths. Only professional obstetricians or midwives with labor room experience exceeding two years and registered assistance at minimum 50 births are eligible, and they must obtain a license from a public health and medical officer service.
