Abstract

Introduction: current care in pregnancy, birth and postpartum in a private healthcare setting is considered to be a less specialized care not complying with recommendations by World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health, Social Politics and Equality.
Purpose: to show the mechanisms used by a team of midwives to achieve healthcare excellence as a logistic support in Hospital Quirón Campo de Gibraltar.
Methods: an observational, descriptive, retrospective study based on statistical data collected from January 1st 2015 to January 1st 2016 in the birth log book. Obstetric work by midwives in a private hospital may comply with recommendations by WHO and the Ministry, and may result in an increased maternal satisfaction when offering a high-quality care by the appropriate health professionals.
Discussion and conclusions: after a three-year period of work in a hospital, midwives work has increased, because the mean number of births is three points higher from previous year, and excellent quality indexes have been observed regarding direct midwifery work.
