The high number of maternal death is due to poor awareness and obstetrics knowledge among general population which also includes traditional methods of delivery practices. In Nepal, mostly obstetric care is provided by poorly trained or untrained medical/health practitioners. In rural Nepal, most of the birth occurs at home without any assistance from trained mid-wives and general practitioners. These situations demonstrate the need of training to birth attendants, especially to reduce Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in the remote areas. About 80 percent of the population is living in rural areas and the existing health facilities are unable to meet the demand required by the program to reduce MMR and Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR). The safety of mother and child is dependent upon the person’s skills who are attending/helping a mother during pregnancy, deliveries and postnatal period. So, training of skilled birth attendant is most to meet the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 4 & 5. 2012-12-28T22:31:18Z 2022-11-08T10:20:54Z 2012-12-28T22:31:18Z 2022-11-08T10:20:54Z 2009 Technical Report http://103.69.126.140:8080/handle/123456789/798 en_US application/pdf Nepal Health Research Council
