A traditional birth attendant reported that delivery services stop at 4pm, so women in labour after that are referred to Bichi General Hospital. The report recommends shift-based staffing for a 24-hour delivery service.
The issue
No delivery service after 4pm, which can delay care for women in labour.
What the LHAAT did
The LHAAT monitored the facility and interviewed a traditional birth attendant about service hours and maternal care needs.
How duty-bearers responded
The need for 24-hour shift cover has been identified; no implementation response has been reported.
Where it stands
The service-hours gap is documented for advocacy and follow-up.
