Traditional birth attendants’ perceptions and understandings of misoprostal training to prevent post partum hemorrhage in Bangladesh

March 6, 2015 / bixby

Daniel Bohl, MPH Candidate

Daniel spent the summer in Bangladesh evaluating training and experience of traditional birth attendants participating in a field trial that investigates whether traditional birth attendants can conduct safer deliveries when provided with two medical interventions: Misoprostol, a drug to control postpartum hemorrhage, and an absorptive delivery mat, a tool used to measure postpartum hemorrhage and facilitate timely referral to a health facility.

Daniel Bohl and Arshadul Islam conduct a qualitative interview of a traditional birth attendant about her experiences with postpartum hemorrhage throughout her career.
