Popis:	Maternity care in the Caribbean island nation of Grenada is organised and provided largely by trained nurse-midwives and maternal mortality is relatively low. This paper discusses how the various elements of this care — emphasis on third trimester coverage, health education for women, clear protocols for managing serious complications, round-the-clock coverage, effective referral, good communication and record-keeping, and limited use ofphysicians and technology — can be used as a model by other countries to reduce maternal deaths.
