Abstract: The majority of maternal and neonatal deaths can be prevented with early recognition and proper implementation of required skills and knowledge. Tracking of higher risk pregnancies needs greater strengthening for mother and child health.
Home deliveries continue to pose a challenge, and the situation is worsened by few TBA deliveries taking place and possibly significant under-reporting from difficult terrains and tribal districts. It has been shown that an increase in births attended by TBA has a key role in safe deliveries, whether conducted in the health institutions or home. So for considering this, there is a need for adequate training of TBA’s. This paper elaborates on the services provided to the pregnant women and children by the Community Health staff like Traditional Birth Attendants. This reflects upon the promotion of the heath of the mother and their child. It also discusses all the essential steps taken by the Community Health Staff for the healthy new born.
