Traditional birth attendants (TBAs) play a crucial role in rural healthcare systems in Ethiopia. A mixed-methods approach was employed including pre- and post-training assessments and qualitative interviews with participants. Post-training evaluations showed a significant improvement in the TBAs' adherence to recommended protocols, particularly in hygiene practices (increased by 45%). The training programme successfully enhanced the quality of services provided by TBAs in rural Ethiopian villages. Continued support and further research should be directed towards sustaining these improvements and scaling up interventions.
