A comparison of home-and facility-based obstetric care
Efforts are being made to train and post professional birth attendants at the community level throughout Bangladesh. ICDDR,B conducted an historical cohort study between 1987 and 2001 in Matlab where both home- and facility-based obstetric care approaches had been implemented. The findings reveal marked differences in the use of professional attendants according to wealth quintile, mother’s and father’s education, and distance to the attendant. Interestingly, the differences were similar for home- and facility-based obstetric care.Source: ICDDR,B
