NYC Standards for Respectful Care at Birth

Written By Bronx Health Link

You have the right to respectful, safe and quality care during your birthing experience.

The NYC Standards for Respectful Care at Birth were created to inform, educate and support people giving birth. These standards encourage you to know your rights and be an active decision-maker in your birthing experience. These standards are also helpful for providers, helping them respect and be aware of their patients’ rights during pregnancy, labor and childbirth.

The standards focus on six areas of respectful care: education, informed consent, decision making, quality of care, support and dignity and non-discrimination.
