title: Assessment of midwifery routines. Toward a north/south collaborative effort.
abstract: Cooperation in midwifery research between Zambia and Sweden is ongoing. Joint studies on gastric suctioning and maternity routines are used as examples, and breastfeeding is discussed from a global perspective. The midwife, who also interprets responses from mothers, is an important member of an assessment team. Cooperation over cultural boundaries is feasible and mutually rewarding.
