@Ron_George I think this doesn't only apply to English. We need information on obstetric analgesia and anesthesia procedures in obstetrics available in a multilingual version for all women regardless their origin and language they speak
Improving informed consent for patients with limited English proficiency requires
✔️ Interpreter training for clinicians
✔️ Earlier antenatal engagement
���️ Multilingual education tools
✔️ Faster interpreter access in emergencies
Equity needs infrastructure, not intention alone.
Language barriers don’t just affect communication ⇒ they shape care
In #OBAnes patients with limited English proficiency face real risks:
▪️ Less effective consent
▪️ Reduced access to epidurals
▪️ Higher likelihood of general anesthesia
We need system-level change

Pregnant and postpartum women admitted to critical care suffer short- and long-term physical and mental health complications.
Maternal critical care needs more attention.
