Blindness makes it clear that this is not possible because it has no medical education: "A Doula will never be able to replace a midwife."

This is a financial effort that prevents many women from using a Doula, but blindness is convinced of their benefits.

The importance of Doulas in the community

In the Euskirchen region, the profession of Doula is not yet very widespread. Nevertheless, this could change because more and more women are looking for accompanying support during birth.
