Celebration of childbirth in Nepal (essay)no need to explain. give points.​

Explanation:

36% of births are assisted by a skilled provider (doctor, nurse, or midwife).[15] Another 11% are assisted by a traditional birth attendant.[15] The former option is much more common in urban areas (73%) than in rural areas (32%).[15] Health services that involved first-level health workers were more common in hospital deliveries compared with home deliveries.[15]

Maternity services in first-line units (antenatal care and delivery care) were provided by staff nurses that had three years of training and auxiliary nurse midwives that had training for 18 months. In primary health centers, there were auxiliary nurse midwives and in health posts and subhealth posts there are maternal child health workers with 10 weeks training.[8] For traditional birth attendants, training widely varies and can best be categorized into training and non-training.[11] 18% of the overall TBAs in Nepal are untrained and the rest were trained.[11] Differences among TBAs arose in clean delivery practices (i.e. hand-washing practices) and standardized identifiers for maternal complications like excessive bleeding, prolonged labor, and retained placenta.[12]

Decision making powerEdit

Primarily, the locus of decision making power lies with the husband in rural communities. If the husband is not present, it falls to the next male figurehead present (father-in-law, father, brother, etc.). As mentioned previously, this is difficult because many times the husband does not watch the labor and birth and is uneducated about maternal health.[17] Therefore, they are largely uninformed when making decisions about transportation, access, and procedures for mother and baby.

However, up to two-thirds of women in urban areas report they have sole or joint decision-making power over their own health care. Oldest women and those from the wealthiest families are most likely to participate in these decisions, especially in the Central Hill, Mid-western Hill, and Eastern Terai areas. Some factors influencing a woman's ability to make her own decisions regarding healthcare include: higher education, more decision-making power in a household, and higher income.[19]
