MAMA iTECH 1.7 | Should traditional birth attendants still deliver babies despite being banned by the Ministry of Health?

Background

Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) in Uganda are individuals within communities who have traditional knowledge and skills related to pregnancy and childbirth. They are usually experienced older women who assist pregnant women during childbirth using traditional methods and practices. While TBAs can offer valuable support, official healthcare providers are often better equipped to handle complications and ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby. For this poll question, we would like to know:

Question:
Although traditional birth attendants are banned by the Ministry of Health, should they still play a role in delivering babies?

B. Yes, because hospitals and clinics don’t have enough capacity
C. Yes, because TBAs provide more personalized care
