Although Malawi (this small African country) is making great efforts to achieve some goals of the Millennium Development including reducing child and maternal mortality more than 56,000 children under 5 still die each year in Malawi. A third of these deaths (17,000) are infants who die during the first month of life. More than 4,624 women die every year and 13 women die daily due to pregnancy complications. These figures seem to all who live in the developed world require impossible to conceive that efforts be made by the Government of that country and also by the entire international community and especially those who collaborate in one way or another in the Health camp in Malawi.
An important role in these figures down to the Traditional Midwives calls are exercised in towns and remote areas of the country in the absence of health centers to assist the birth of a baby. So the government supports them, despite some opposition as the Association of Gynaecologists because they are much needed in the country. Naturally there are already many years to provide them with training in good hygiene to prevent infection especially after the mother and baby.
