Ninety-nine percent of all maternal mortality is in the developing countries. With limited resources and shattered economies it may take a very long time for these countries to provide qualified doctors, and nurses and back up structure to reduce high maternal mortality. By training TBA`s (Traditional birth attendants) we could dramatically reduce the maternal mortality and other obstetric complications with very low cost and utilizing existing resources.
