In an effort to reduce MMR, one of the health workers who is directly involved in maternal and child health services is the midwife. Aid deliveries done by non-medical personnel can lead to high MMR and IMR, so this requires the ability and skills of the helper delivery so MMR can be avoided. The number of delivery assistants by a shaman is due to many factors behind them, including education level, attitudes, perceptions, mother, and knowledge about risk factors of labor.
