title: Management of birth asphyxia by traditional birth attendants.
abstract: Birth asphyxia is an important cause of perinatal mortality, especially in developing countries. A study in India has shown that traditional birth attendants can recognize the condition but mostly cannot deal with it. The authors suggest that this deficiency could be overcome if suitable training were given.
