Proportion of beds in MIC maternity<br />
Proportion of wom<strong>en</strong> delivering in MIC maternities<br />
Liège<br />
Luxembourg<br />
The proportion of wom<strong>en</strong> who deliver in maternities with MIC-beds differs according<br />
to their place of resid<strong>en</strong>ce and varies from 6.4% in province Luxembourg, 37.7% in<br />
Vlaams Brabant, 48.0% in Brussels, and 51.9% in Liège.<br />
This proportion of wom<strong>en</strong> delivering in MIC-services is related to the proportion of<br />
beds in MIC-services in the province except for Brabant Wallon. In this province, there<br />
are no MIC-beds and the proportion of wom<strong>en</strong> delivering in MIC-services is equal to<br />
the proportion observed in Brussels. It is explained by the fact that most of the wom<strong>en</strong><br />
living in this province deliver in Brussels or in the maternity of Braine-L’Alleud. The<br />
maternity of Braine-L’Alleud now belongs to the Chirec group. This whole group of<br />
hospitals, including one hospital in Brussels having a MIC-service, is considered<br />
administratively as a maternity with MIC service. However, there are no MIC bed in<br />
Braine-l’Alleud. Therefore, the 1.021 wom<strong>en</strong> who delivered in this hospital in 2004<br />
contribute to overestimating the global proportion of pregnant wom<strong>en</strong> who really<br />
deliver in a maternity with MIC-service in Brabant Wallon.<br />
4.2.10.3 Accessibility of maternities with MIC-services<br />
For Belgium in total, the mean distance travelled by wom<strong>en</strong> to reach a Maternity<br />
without MIC-services is 9.1 km (P10=0; P50= 7.3; P90= 20.2) and the mean distance to<br />
reach a maternity with a MIC-service is 10.6 km (P10=0; P50= 7.0; P90= 25.4).<br />
According to the place of resid<strong>en</strong>ce, the distance to reach a hospital with or without a<br />
MIC-service differs.<br />
