Abstract
culturally appropriate measures are needed to attract and retain skilled female health care providers for rural public facilities in Afghanistan and similar settings. Advocacy to encourage family and community support for midwives working in rural facilities and providing amenities such as housing, education for children, and employment for the accompanying male family member are measures most likely to improve midwife retention.
