Since long; there have been several community health projects that are attempting to solve problems linked to maternal and infantile morbimortalities. These kinds of projects remain unfulfilled to pygmies and other people from black Africa.
This descriptive transversal study about the techniques of traditional birth, as factors which promote the motherly and infantile mortality was carried out in MitiMurhesa health zone during a period from September 2018 to October 2019 in 4 sites (Buyungule, Cibuga, Cirharhangwa and Muyange) where Pygmies live. Traditional childbearing techniques which are applied by midwives pygmies would expose pygmies women giving birth and the new born to factors which can bring them to the death. The principal objective of this study is to contribute to the reduction of maternal and infantile mortality and morbidity of native people in MitiMurhesa health zone. An inquiry questionnaire and focus groups were used to collect data during our field descent. We recorded several techniques and inhuman practices that are applied to pygmies’ women giving birth because they have no means to access to health services and yet these pygmies’ women rarely access to prenatal consultation because they are negligent and loafers.
