Abstract:
The principal way of achieving maternal health and safe motherhood is to expand the specific functions and/or categories of midwifery personnel. This includes strengthening knowledge and skills to improve the quality and quantity of care. Success would ensure that for millions of women the prospect of childbirth would be one of joy rather than misery.
