METHODS
A retrospective criterion-based audit was conducted from case files of labouring women at Taiz Houbane MCH Hospital in the last month with extreme number of deliveries (August 2017, 1014 labouring women) and the first month where the restriction policy was fully implemented (November 2017, 428 labouring women). Hence, before and after a doubling in provider-to-labouring women ratio.
