Title
CHALLENGES OF TRADITIONAL BIRTH ATTENDANCE ON SAFE MOTHERHOOD AND CHILDREN IN THE WA MUNICIPALITY
Abstract
Traditional birth attendants (TBAs) have traditionally is the primary career for women in Africa during childbirth (Allotey, and Reidpath 2015). It has, therefore, continued to be used widely in Ghanaian rural areas notwithstanding the advances made in modern medicine and healthcare. Using a qualitative case study approach, data from 12 TBAs and 6 women who patronize the services of TBAs were elicited in Bihee, Busa, and Nakore in the Upper West Region of Ghana. The study revealed that the services offered by TBAs basically are the delivery of pregnant women during childbirth. The findings also pointed to the fact that some of the challenges TBAs faced are the inability to manage complications, lack of link with modern health systems and resources among others. However, women in deprived localities still prefer the services of TBAs over the services of the modern health system due to reasons such as familiarity and comfort with TBAs, financial constraints, and lack of respect from health professionals, etc. Consequently, the study calls for the training of TBAs to manage complications and policies should be developed to support TBA's growth and development.
