hildbirth is one of the most important events in women's lives, despite
all recommendations, the care provided and practices for childbirth are
not standardized. The aim of this study was to assess childbirth practices
at Mansoura governmental hospitals in Egypt and their consistency with
performance standards for maternal and neonatal health, normal labour
and delivery (NLD). A cross sectional descriptive design was utilized. This
study was carried out at the labour and delivery units in Mansoura District,
Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt from August 2016 to February 2017. The
subjects of the study included all health care providers (46 obstetricians
and nurses) who were working in different labour and delivery units during
the study, as well as 243 intrapartum women who were admitted to these
units. Study results showed low percentage of achievement regarding the
performance standards for maternal and neonatal health (NLD), among all
studied hospitals. Recommendations of the study includes, the quality of
maternal and new-born health care must be achieved and maintained by
adhering to quality assurance standards, health care providers need to be
trained on inter-personal skills in order to have positive and sensitive attitude
toward women's during labour, recommended strategies to address unmet
needs of PPFP, periodic on job training about the use of the partograph
should be provided to all health care providers, and regular supportive
supervision is also needed to motivate staff to utilize the partograph and
