Limited resources for teaching and assessment: space and staff
The timing of antenatal classes was a problem for four women who attended ANC clinics elsewhere:
‘I wasn’t taught about it, but I know that in the nearby clinic they teach women about it [FMs]. But I always come late for this, since they start around 7am with the class’ (Antenatal)
The main problem for the ANC nurses when it comes to educating women, was lack of space to hold antenatal classes. All registrars and nurse-midwives stated that the high volume of women and too few staff were problems for assessing FMs during admission and labor care. They suggested an extra nurse and room for admission.
As my colleagues said, sometimes due to overcrowding of women on arrival the nurse forgets to ask some details to the mother.’ (Healthcare provider)
Also we need time, adequate number of staff, especially in the admission room.(Healthcare provider)
‘Most of the time, we don’t pay much attention to low-risk women unless there is a problem. We prioritize women. For high-risk women we ask everything. But low risk: no!’  (Healthcare provider)
