Perceptions and experiences of midwives' regarding the use of the labor care guide at two state hospitals in Khomas region, Namibia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract The labor care guide (LCG) is a new tool for monitoring labor, introduced to replace the partograph, which had been used improperly and inconsistently across various contexts. Early research suggests that healthcare practitioners view the LCG as a tool that enhances the quality of care during labor and delivery.
