I-DENVER - Njengoba izinto eziza kuqala ekunakekelweni kwezempilo zikhula ngokulinganayo, izinsizakalo ezihambisana namasiko ukuze kubhekwane ngokuyisisekelo nezinqumo zezempilo nezenhlalakahle zemiphakathi ehlukahlukene, kanjalo nesidingo sokwakha nokugcina ingqalasizinda ukusekela abahlinzeki bezempilo - abantu abanikeza lezi zinsizakalo. Ngokuvamile, laba bahlinzeki bezempilo bavela emiphakathini abayisebenzelayo, futhi baye babelana ngobunikazi nolwazi olubenza babe sesimweni esihle kakhulu sokusiza iziguli zabo.
I-Colorado Access iyakwazi ukungafani kwezempilo okubhalwe kahle emiphumeleni yezempilo kamama nengane phakathi kwabantu abamnyama e-United States futhi ngeshwa ibona lokhu kungafani kubonakala ebulungwini bayo.
Enye yezindlela ezithembisayo kakhulu okusingathwa ngayo ukungafani phakathi kwaleli qembu ingokusekelwa kwe-doula ngesikhathi sokubeletha nokubeletha, ikakhulukazi ama-doula anezizinda zobuhlanga, ubuzwe noma amasiko okwabelwana ngazo. Noma kunjalo ingcebo yedatha ezungeze umthelela omuhle wokunakekelwa kwe-doula okusabela ngokwesiko emiphumeleni yokuzalwa, kulinganiselwa ukuthi ngaphansi kuka-10% wama-doula e-US abaMnyama (umthombo). Ukwengeza, nakuba ama-doulas afakazele ukuthi angamalungu asebenzayo okunakekelwa kwezempilo, ingqalasizinda ye-doula yamanje kanye nezindikimba ezibusayo nezempilo ezibaphethe azihambisani nokugcinwa kwabasebenzi abaningi kanye nokusimama komsebenzi wesikhathi eside.
Ukuqala ukubhekana nalokhu, i-Colorado Access isebenza no-Birdie Johnson kanye nenhlangano yakhe engenzi nzuzo Izinsizakalo zikaMama Bird Doula (MBDS) - enikeza ukwesekwa kwe-doula kanye nokunakekelwa kokubeletha kanye nemfundo emindenini yase-Denver nase-Aurora - ngemizamo ehloselwe ekugcineni ukunciphisa ukungalingani kwezempilo phakathi kwabazala Abamnyama. Lapho ubudlelwano buqala ngoZibandlela wezi-2021, la maqembu womabili afuna ukuhlonza kanye nokweseka abazalwa abamnyama abangama-40 abakhavwe yiMedicaid. Ukweseka leli qembu lokuqala kuhlala kuyinto ehamba phambili, futhi ozakwethu bafuna ukwandisa ukwesekwa kwabo ukuze kuhlanganiswe kokubili abasebenzi be-doula kanye namalungu ahlinzekwa ama-doulas.
"Ukuba ne-doula kuyilungelo eliyisisekelo, hhayi ukunethezeka," kusho u-Imaan Watts, umsizi wohlelo kanye no-doula kwa-MBDS, osebenzela abantu baseMedicaid. Njengoba eqhamuka eGeorgia, uWatts ukwazi mathupha ukubaluleka kokuthola umphakathi owakhiwe ngabesifazane bemibala ozomeseka, nokuyinto emdonsele enhlanganweni. "Ikharikhulamu yethu isekela imizimba emnyama nensundu, ibhekana nokuhlukana kwezinto eziphilayo kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho okuphilayo okuyingqayizivele kubantu bemibala."
NgoJanuwari 2023, uJohnson wethula uhlelo olusha lwama-doulas ahlonza njengabaNsundu, aboMdabu, kanye nabePeoples of Color (BIPOC) ngesifiso sokuxhasa imindeni ye-BIPOC. Lolu hlelo luklanyelwe ukudala umphakathi nokuhlinzeka ngemfundo eqhubekayo, amathuluzi osomabhizinisi kanye nokweluleka kubahlanganyeli. Ama-doula angamashumi amabili nane amukelwe eqenjini lokuqala, eliqala ngoJanuwari 2023 futhi liqhubeke kuze kube nguJanuwari 2024.
Umgomo walolu hlelo ukukhombisa ukuthi ngesinxephezelo esifanele, ukuqeqeshwa okuphelele kanye namathuba entuthuko, abasebenzi be-BIPOC doula banganciphisa kakhulu ukungalingani kwezempilo kwabazalwa Abamnyama esifundazweni saseColorado. I-Colorado Access ikholelwa ukuthi le phrojekthi ingaba namandla olwazi ngezinqubomgomo nezingxoxo ezizungeze izinsizakalo ze-doula ezihlanganiswe ne-Medicaid, isihloko esibalulekile esimweni samanje sezempilo kanye nezombusazwe.
"Asizibophezeli nje kuphela ukuhlakulela inethiwekhi yabahlinzeki abahlukahlukene kakhulu amalungu ethu angabathemba futhi ahlobane nabo, kodwa futhi nokubhekana nokungafani emiphumeleni yokuzalwa kuzo zonke izinhlanga nezinhlanga," kusho u-Annie Lee, umongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-Colorado Access. "Iqiniso lokuthi abazala Abamnyama basengozini enkulu yokubhekana nezimo ezisongela ukuphila kanye nokwanda kwezigameko zezinkinga ezihlobene nokukhulelwa kuwukubizela esenzweni, futhi kubonisa isidingo esicacile somphakathi sokusekelwa okwengeziwe okuhlobene namasiko, izinhlelo kanye nezinsiza."
