An outpatient birthing center operated primarily by midwives, where pregnant mothers in labor can deliver their babies.

A birth center presents a more home-like environment than a hospital labor ward, typically with more options during labor: food/drink, music, and the attendance of family and friends if desired.

How to map

Set a node node placed at the center of the building, or draw as an area area drawn around the perimeter of the building.

Add healthcare=birthing_center and name=*.
