Birth Attendants

The paper focuses on the situational analysis of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) and skilled birth attendants (SBAs) in Zimbabwe. Against a background of a frail health care system, characterised by a shortage in skilled professionals, increased cost of medical care, and geographic and economic inaccessibility of health care centres among others, TBAs have remained a life-line for especially many rural women in maternal health care provision. Moreover, TBAs have also found their way into the urban areas of Zimbabwe. The shift in international policy and health funding toward skilled birth attendants (i.e., an accredited health professional) has materialized into concerted government efforts to increase numbers of both midwifery training institutions and midwives themselves. The call for SBAs, though a worthy ideal, is out of touch with the lived realities of pregnant women in low resource settings such as Zimbabwe. The study is concerned with situational analysis of TBAs and SBAs in maternal health care service provision in Zimbabwe analysing and evaluating policy considerations.

<p>A family physician program has been implemented in rural areas of the country since the early 2005.Therefore, due to the increase in the density of midwives in this project, it is expected that more services would be provided to pregnant women. This cross-sectional study used the difference-in-differences model and Matchit statistical model to compare the indices of maternal health program before and after the implementation of a family physician program. It compared health centres that had increase in their density of midwives in the course of the study with those that did not. The study sample consisted of 668 mothers of 2-month-old children in 2013. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was administered in structured interviews. In this study, in 2013, 38.8% of the women received preconception care, 66.5% received prenatal care and 41.6% received postpartum care, as defined by the standards. Based on the results of statistical models of difference-in-differences analyses and Matchit, there was no significant change in indices of maternal health program between 2005 and 2013. The results of this study showed that an increase in the density of midwives in a family physician program did not have an impact on the indices of maternal health program; it indicated that the increase in the density of midwives alone was not efficient. In other words, the quality of primary health care is strongly dependent on the use of trained health workers. In addition, manpower planning and management can have an important role in improvement of prenatal care.</p>
