Maternity waiting house

Pregnant women come to the clinic 1-3 weeks before their due date. The problem is that the clinic cannot feed them, so families must make the walk to the clinic each day with food. When this doesn't happen it is not uncommon for the women to walk into the main village area and beg for food. All pregnant women are tested for HIV, and antenatal consultation rates are good.
