Abstract
Nutritional anaemia, bleeding and birth trauma contribute to the high maternal mortality rate in Nepal. A national training programme for traditional birth attendants (TBAs) aims to improve skills and addresses the issue of emergencies and high risk situations. The programme is having some success but needs to be operated in conjunction with better referral facilities, better literacy, and access to contraception.
