چکیده
This is partly attributable to place of delivery: 37% of women deliver at home (Ndiaye & Mohamed, 2006). For the poorest quintile, 70.2% deliver at home, compared with only 5.7% for the richest. In terms of attendants at the birth, 51.9% are attended by ‘skilled personnel’ (doctor, nurse, midwife or auxiliary midwife). Again, rates are closely linked to socio-economic group. Only 7.5% deliver with a traditional birth attendant, but 35.7% are assisted by a relative or other person (and 4.2% delivery alone).
