High Risk Obstetrics
Most children in the HAS service area are born at home, supported by a traditional birth attendant who has been trained by HAS. The birth attendants monitor the development of the unborn child, and refer women with high blood pressure or other danger signs to the nearest dispensary, which then determines if a referral to the hospital is necessary. The HAS high-risk obstetrics unit evaluates these referrals and tries to support a normal delivery.
