Villains or victims? The role of maternity staff in decreasing or enhancing respectful care
Afghanistan has one of the highest rates in the world of maternal mortality despite nearly two decades of effort to train more skilled providers and make maternity care more accessible. One contributing factor to this may be the quality and respectfulness of care provided. In this blog post, the authors of a newly published qualitative study in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth discuss the contributions of healthcare providers to respectful maternity care and positive outcomes in light of narratives that depict them as either the ‘villains’ or the ‘victims’ of the system.
The challenge of high-quality respectful care
Worldwide, many childbearing women have little opportunity to make autonomous childbirth decisions themselves and experience poor care. This relates to the general status of women in society, and more specifically to the failure of maternity services to produce optimal and dignified care for all. The latter is an issue reported in high-income countries as well as low- and middle-income countries, including Afghanistan.
