Thank you SOO; I would like to know how communities specially in low economic areas accepted midwives. Further, where Traditional birth attendants presence is strong how midwives have been introduce? Addition, did any country once they prepare midwives made complete employment/deployment plan and implementation?

Hi Rafat

Great hearing from you.

Unfortunately I do not know a country which has done this. I have copied the chair person of the ICM research Standing Committee, Soo Downe, she might be able to help.

Soo please could you help?

Regards

Nester
