Description
Mamadou Dioulde Balde and co-authors offer a 2026 before-and-after study from Guinea on staff training to cut mistreatment of women in gynecology and obstetrics care. Client reports were used to judge change.
Women were asked about their care before and after providers were trained, and the results were adjusted for other factors. The risk of violence or mistreatment fell by 43 percent in gynecology and 44 percent in obstetrics after training. Blows and harsh words both dropped by roughly a quarter to a third. The team argues that steady staff training plus community outreach can make maternity care safer.
