  • Title: [Common obstetric practices in Niger].
    Author: Vangeenderhuysen C, Olivier de Sardan JP, Moumouni A, Souley A.
    Journal: Sante; 1998; 8(4):265-8. PubMed ID: 9794036.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to describe common practices and representations concerning pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal care in Niger. We interviewed everyone involved in antenatal care and delivery in 12 villages. We describe here common practices for diagnosis of pregnancy, antenatal care, normal and problem deliveries and postnatal care. Our findings raise questions about maternal health policies in developing countries, which do not always fully take into account the requirements of the population.
