Article Synopsis
- Maternal and child health in remote communities is often at risk due to limited healthcare access, leading to reliance on traditional birth attendants (TBAs) and raising questions about integrating traditional and modern practices.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of six studies found that training TBAs significantly reduced perinatal and neonatal mortality rates, though results for stillbirth rates were inconclusive.
- Although there is some evidence supporting TBA training benefits, the studies reviewed had methodological issues, indicating a need for further well-designed research to refine training interventions and improve outcomes.
