We shall not go far as a
country if we fail to respect genuine research findings. While some women advocate for being attended
to by male midwifes, research findings have it that the reason why many women in
Eastern Uganda go for attention by traditional birth attendants is to avoid
opening up to male health workers. It
therefore makes all the sense for Government to boost the figures of female
midwifes to attend to women at birth.
Women who can make a choice for male midwifes can have their way, but we
need to respect research findings.
