‘Obstetricians’ perceptions of midwifery-led care in Bangladesh – A qualitative study
The midwife as a separate and autonomous profession is a relatively new concept in Bangladesh; as a result, its integration into the maternal healthcare system is yet to be determined. Obstetricians are key stakeholders in maternal health, and understanding how they perceive midwifery-led care can provide valuable insight into the acceptance of the model, and the profession itself. Data was collected from 13 semi-structured interviews conducted w…

“I can’t make it safe, so I don’t do it”
The rise in the number of facility-based births in Bangladesh has been accompanied by a caesarean section (CS) epidemic. The current CS rate is 45% and while many are performed when medically unnecessary, there is still maternal mortality due to lack of access to CS. A significant contributor to the rising CS rates in Bangladesh is repeat CS. Evidence from high-income settings has shown that vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) is safe an…
Factors Associated with Maternal Deaths in a Hard-To-Reach Marginalized Rural Community of Bangladesh
Every year in Bangladesh, approximately 5200 mothers die (172 maternal deaths/100,000 live births) due to maternal complications. The death rate is much higher in hard-to-reach areas and underprivileged communities, such as Bangladesh's tea gardens. The women living in the tea garden areas are deprived of quality health care services due to inadequate knowledge, education, and access to health care services. Poverty and early marriage, followed b…
