Health experts in Migori County have raised concerns over rising cases of expectant women turning to traditional birth attendants instead of going to hospital for treatment.
The experts said most expectant mothers were not willing to go to the hospital early to register for antenatal care (ANC).
Migori County Reproductive Health Coordinator Joseph Okidi said traditional birth attendants only release expectant mothers to go to the hospital once they develop complications. "That is why we have lost a number of mothers," Mr Okidi said.
Migori has recorded 28 maternal deaths from January to date.
