Is it safe to deliver in lying-in clinics given that only Midwives are present?

Midwives are actually very professional and have assisted in many deliveries. When I was in the delivery suite, the midwives realised that my baby defecated in the womb and it was quite a serious situation. I had to deliver the baby as soon as possible, before she swallowed feces and got infected. The midwives were very encouraging and helped me deliver my girl safely. The gynae only came by at the very last moment to deliver the baby and stitch me up.
