Abstract: WHO has recommended use of the Partograph, a low-tech paper form that has been hailed as an efficient tool for the primary detection of maternal and fetal complications during childbirth. Yet despite decades of coaching and investment, implementation rates and capacity to properly use the Partograph remain low in resource-limited settings. Competent use of the Partograph, mainly, using newer technologies, can save maternal and fetal lives by ensuring that labor is strictly monitored for life-threatening complications like obstructed labor are identified and treated. To accommodate the challenges for using Partograph among doctors, health-care systems must establish an environment that supports its correct use. Health-care staff should be updated by providing training and asking them about the difficulties faced at their clinic. Then only the potential of this glorious tool are visiting be maximally utilized.
