title: Midwifery in the Belfast City Hospital.
abstract: The process of improving midwifery services for poor women in Belfast was a slow one. Traditional midwives were gradually supplanted by midwives who were trained and controlled by the medical profession, but it was many years before the problems of puerperal infection were brought under control in the new institutions.
