Traditional birth Attendants(TBA) continue to play a very important role in our society,especially in rural and marginalized communities where access to healthcare remains limited.they are trusted by community members and provide essential maternal care, guidance and support to pregnant women before, during and after childbirth.

However due to emerging birth complications associated with lifestyle diseases such as diabetes,hypertension, obesity and other maternal health conditions, there is an urgent need to strengthen their knowledge and skills through continuous training and capacity building.
