Medicalised birth

Before World War II, pregnancy and birth – and, by extension, breastfeeding – were part of the continuum of normal life. Women gave birth at home with the assistance and support of trained midwives, who were themselves part of the community, and afterwards they breastfed with the encouragement of family and friends.

Taking birth out of the community and relocating it into hospitals gave
rise to the medicalisation of women’s reproductive lives. Life events were transformed into medical problems, and traditional knowledge was replaced with scientific and technological solutions. This medicalisation resulted in a cascade of interventions that deeply undermined
women’s confi dence in their abilities to conceive and grow a healthy baby, give birth to it and then feed it.

Посмотрите Лингво, medicalization - так и есть "медикализация", тенденция решать проблемы со здоровьем при помощи традиционной медицины.
Medicalised birth - м.б. роды в условиях традиционных клиник
