COMPOSITE DESCRIPTION

Insufficient information about these people occurs, there are scarcity of literatures that

depicts their ho!s and hy!s but their presence still han" on our ears made illustrious by the

une#plainable poer of the ord of mouth$ hence, these people still e#ist, remain, and still

continue to "i%e ser%ice to the members of the community despite the present time, here

modern technolo"ies ha%e risen and many health care infrastructures ha%e been de%eloped,

ne%ertheless these people continue to li%e on and be sentient on their customary ser%ice of

pro%idin" birthin" assistance& Curiosities ha%e surfaced about the real e#istence of these people

in the community in this modern period$ hich lead to the rumma"e around the researchers and

found out that statistics re%ealed that in the remote and rural areas all around the orld, they still

e#ist, traditional birth attendants subsist& In their community, they are considered as a mother,

ho ine%itably loo's after her child in any time of the situation$ a care"i%er, ho certainly "i%es

a helpin" hand$ and a collea"ue ho is alays illin" to be present in times of problems for a

friend& (nd in the midst of that, this )uestion ha%e arisen, What are the experiences of a

Traditional Birth Attendant?

(lmost the ma*ority, if not the totality, ha%e only heard or itnessed o%er the media the

re%ealed ne"ati%e ratio of hat the Traditional +irth (ttendants are comprised& Throu"h this the

aareness of the "eneral public ill increase intensely to 'no that Traditional +irth (ssistants

perform more than *ust bein" a helper in the deli%ery of a mother, more than *ust a health care

pro%ider but also a motherhom assisted the deli%ery of the baby and "a%e continuance of care

to the neborn, a fatherho as there to loo' after his ife day and ni"ht in full ae and

e#citement, a friendho as in full support to atch a companion under"o one of the most

si"nificant moment of her life ithout e#pectin" anythin" in return, a sibling ho is filled ith

onder on ho her ne#t mate ould loo' li'e and be ith her hate%er the eather is, a

confidante ma'in" sure that e%erythin" "oes on ell e%en if in the presence of commotion and

insufficiency and a preacherho did not fail to remember to call upon the (lmi"hty to besto

his "uidance for the mother and her offsprin" and the one ho soothed the mother!s achin" body

and soul by meetin" her spiritual needs&

One thin" that ma'es their practice more noteorthy is that the traditional birth

attendants themsel%es silently carry ithin them the under ac'noled"ement they recei%e thou"h

they truly deser%e better for the reason that they ha%e immersed themsel%es in this ine%itable

%o, unrestricted ser%ice, e#ceptional concern and unconditional lo%e throu"hout the in"lorious

years of their li%es& They ha%e ne%er been in the comforts of a four-cornered room, fully air-

conditioned and complete ith e)uipment aitin" for clients to come in to"ether ith their

"listenin" paychec's$ instead they constantly ent out of their placate .ones, e%en to the far-

flun" areas, not mindin" the thorny eather, sha'y roads, 'nee-hi"h flood, insurmountable

mountains, e%en the dan"er encounterin" dreadful rebels around the corners of an un'non

niche or *ust basically the fee they ill recei%e considerin" they do not ha%e any other source of

earnin"s& E%en if they do not ha%e any other source of income, they do not e#pect for reciprocity

for the ser%ices they render, they are contented for the deed they ha%e done and the satisfaction

they ac)uire in helpin"& /oe%er, hate%er is "i%en to them, they accept it hole heartedly and

appreciate the reciprocity of their patients be it material thin"s or *ust a simple smile&

This act of heroism the co-researchers ha%e portrayed as not made 'non to them&

Traditional birth attendants are not e"oistic and ha%e prioriti.ed altruism for the lon"est time&

/a%in" the humbleness of a leader ithout formal education remained in them throu"hout the

years, they ere open to chan"es as or'in" beyond hat is depicted to them hich is not far

from their 'noled"e$ but ha%in" in mind the "reater "ood of the needy ta'es all the doubts and

ne"ati%e connotations of a *ud"mental hi"her society& 0or them, if they ha%e the capacity to help,

someho or anyho, no matter hat it ta'es, they ill alays prefer to e#tend a hand and "i%e

their all rather than impart totally nothin" to people in need&

1ith that bein" said, Traditional +irth (ttendants are not surprisin"ly preferred by the

people in their community& Con%ersely, throu"h prominence and ord of mouth, they are called

e%en by people from faraay places to perform their ser%ice& People specifically belon"in" to

rural areas as ell as those ith lo income prefer their ser%ice due to their accessibility,

affordability and the special attention of care e%en after the birthin" process& These practitioners

sho "enuine care toards their patients and this ser%es as another factor that ma'es them the

first choice of their patrons& The implication is that people do not only tend to loo' at the title

"i%en to you but also tend to loo' deeper, into the sense of conscientiousness and de%otion

re"ardin" that particular ser%ice they are about to entail& One must ta'e aay all biases and learn

to appreciate uni)ue e#periences offered by the unmista'ably o%er-floin" lo%e for their field in

order to appreciate the true meanin" of bein" a traditional birth attendant&
