Evidence from a number of studies globally has shown a reduction in maternal and perinatal mortality when women have a skilled attendant present at every birth. In Kenya, although over 88% of women attend an antenatal clinic at least once during pregnancy a skilled attendant assists only 42% at birth. There are regional disparities within Kenya on who provides support during childbirth. In Central Province, over 70% deliver with a skilled attendant compared to 28% in Western Province.  Building on these results, a Community Midwifery Model was developed by a collaborative group of professionals.  This report discusses the Community Midwifery Model in detail.
