Keynote Speaker - Dr Michel Odent

Dr Michel Odent is a French obstetrician and childbirth specialist. Born in a French village in 1930, Odent studied medicine in Paris and was educated as a surgeon in the 1950s. He has been presented in Lancet as "one of the last real general surgeons".

In charge of the surgical and maternity units of the Pithiviers hospital (France) from 1962 to 1985, Odent has developed a special interest in environmental factors influencing the birth process. He introduced the concepts of birthing rooms, birthing pools, and singing sessions for pregnant women.

After his hospital career he was involved in home birth, founded in London the Primal Health Research Centre, and designed a database to compile epidemiological studies exploring correlations between conditions during the natal "primal period" and subsequent child and mother health.

Odent is Visiting Professor at Odessa National Medical University and Doctor Honoris Causa of Brasilia University.
