The present trend is to provide home health care wherever it is possible and practical. The health care providers, at present, have realized that people would be cured quickly, at times, if they are out of the hospital environment and in the comfort of their home. Though hospitals render good care, people stayed in the hospitals for days and weeks after child birth and surgery. The hospital stay could be very expensive as the hospital had to provide people to care for, feed and entertain the patients.
Post operative patients and those after child birth do not require highly skilled medical professionals. Their need is only for a limited time. Patients require care or additional treatment but not the services of hospital personnel. Therefore patients could stay at home and the health care professionals could visit them at home for important follow up and care.

So a number of systems have been devised by the leaders for people to take advantage of home health care. New methods stay for a very limited period in the hospital after child birth.
