**2. Methodology**

This chapter utilises experiences gained in Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria and Zambia during the Pfizer Independent Grant for Learning and Change supported Medical Women's Association of Nigeria Improving Maternal Health in sub-Saharan Africa project to describe how the checklist can be used to deliver lifesaving midwifery care and enhance maternal health. This chapter also outlines the 'how to use the checklist' as elucidated in the WHO implementation guide in this chapter [4].
