Wouldn't a good midwife be a good alternative?

Anything other than that would be a good alternative. Picture how the baby is positioned (crown down) and the nature of the skull (the foramen), and now sit the weight of the mother over that as you crush it into the seat while the moto bounces it's way over fine Cambodian roads.

They should splurge for a PassApp rickshaw

Not so surprising, this is also the same in the UK & I'm guessing other nations too. You can book a super expensive suite at a private hospital and have it all laid out like a luxury weekend at a hotel, but on the first sign of any trouble they'll whisk any complicated cases to the nearest NHS hospital that has all the right emergency facilities for sprogs. My first two were born in NHS hospitals and the midwives were tremendous. Third here at what used to be Royal Ratanak (now Royal PP), again gyno Dr. Mumu (Burmese) was excellent throughout the pregnancy & was there to deliver also - one hour job done; but for sure was ready for the Calmette dash also.
