Abstract
An evaluation of domiciliary midwifery services in a suburban area of Benin City, Nigeria, revealed that mothers liked them mainly because of the provision for home delivery. The integration of traditional birth attendants into organized health care was considered desirable by both mothers and the midwifery staff. Domiciliary midwifery services are recommended as a means of integrating traditional birth attendants into primary health care.Keywords: Africa; Africa South Of The Sahara; Delivery; Delivery Of Health Care; Developing Countries; Education; English Speaking Africa; Health; Health Personnel; Health Services; Health Services Administration; Management; Maternal Health Services; Maternal-child Health Services; Medicine; Medicine, Traditional; Midwives; Nigeria; Organization And Administration; Pilot Projects; Pregnancy; Pregnancy Outcomes; Primary Health Care; Reproduction; Research Methodology; Studies; Training Programs; Western Africa
