92% of pregnant women in Bangladesh deliver at home unattended by skilled personnel. LHCB started TBA training in 1996 and has trained over 300 TBAs to assist mothers in their villages with safe child birth. In addition to delivering babies, the TBAs work with mothers before and after delivery, instructing them in appropriate health care, immunizations, and infant care. They monitor the pregnant mothers and refer those women with high risk pregnancies to the hospital in Dumki for delivery under close supervision.
