where is best to give birth in america or Canada?

Answer 1

Hospital

Answer 2

Canada

Answer 3

Canadians are allowed to work in America. It's not so easy the other way around. Birth in Canada and travel to America.

Answer 4

Is the purpose of your question to find out which place is the best to have an "anchor" baby and thus secure the best social and economic benefits? If so, you should be ashamed of yourself.

The best place to give birth is the country of the citizenship of the parents and which is where the family should live.

Answer 5

I suppose you are thinking of which citizenship, between Canadian or American, would be best for the baby.

If both parents are Canadian (or one is Canadian and the other is neither Canadian nor American), then the US. If both are American (or one is American and the other is neither Canadian nor American), then Canada. That way you can secure double citizenship for the child for both countries you are considering. If neither parents are Canadian nor American, then I would think that it would be best to do it on the country you are planning to live in. If this is a medical question, I think it depends a lot on the specific hospital and doctor you have in mind.

Answer 6

U.S. Scores Poorly on Infant Mortality
Shortcomings in basic health care, obesity cited for low rank among modern nations

Among 33 industrialized nations, the United States is tied with Hungary, Malta, Poland and Slovakia with a death rate of nearly 5 per 1,000 babies, according to a new report. Latvia's rate is 6 per 1,000.

"We are the wealthiest country in the world, but there are still pockets of our population who are not getting the health care they need," said Mary Beth Powers, a reproductive health adviser for the U.S.-based Save the Children, which compiled the rankings based on health data from countries and agencies worldwide.

Our health care system focuses on providing high-tech services for complicated cases. We do this very well...What we do not do is provide basic primary and preventive health care services.

Kenneth Thorpe, Emory University health policy expert
The U.S. ranking is driven partly by racial and income disparities. Among U.S. blacks, there are 9 deaths per 1,000 live births, closer to rates in developing nations than to those in the industrialized world.

"Every time I see these kinds of statistics, I'm always amazed to see where the United States is because we are a country that prides itself on having such advanced medical care and developing new technology ... and new approaches to treating illness. But at the same time not everybody has access to those new technologies," said Dr. Mark Schuster, a Rand Co. researcher and pediatrician with the University of California, Los Angeles.

The Save the Children report, released Monday, comes just a week after publication of another report humbling to the U.S. health care system. That study showed that white, middle-aged Americans are far less healthy than their peers in England, despite U.S. health care spending that is double that in England.

In the United States, researchers noted that the population is more racially and economically diverse than many other industrialized countries, making it more challenging to provide culturally appropriate health care.

About half a million U.S. babies are born prematurely each year, data show. Black infants are twice as likely as white babies to be premature, to have a low birth weight and to die at birth, according to Save the Children.

The researchers also said lack of national health insurance and short maternity leaves likely contribute to the poor U.S. rankings.
