DESCRIPTION
This paper explores the potential for private-sector midwives to provide services beyond their traditional scope of care during pregnancies and births to address shortcomings in LDCs’ ability to reach MDGs. This paper examines factors that support or constrain private practice midwives’ (PPMWs’) ability to offer expanded services in order to inform the policy and donor communities about PPMWs’ potential.
