Reducing maternal mortality is one of the health indicators whose main element is quality labour and birth care. The International Confederation of Midwives advocates the skills and competences needed to provide quality care throughout the pregnancy-puerperium cycle.

We observed differences in the quality of nursing care provided in the participating institutions. Many essential competences for labour and delivery care are not developed. The institutions need incentives to implement actions based on up-to-date evidence.
