Abstract

PIP: Over 9200 hilots (traditional birth attendants) who have been trained over the past 20 years in the Philippines were interviewed and personal observations were made of hilot classes in order to identify individually those in practice, and to define the extent of indigenous midwifery in the country. Focus is on the 1st phase of study (hilot manpower and registry) started in mid-1973. The hilot is defined as a person who is usually called upon by the community to assist a woman during pregnancy, labor and/or after delivery. There are now identified 31,200 practicing hilots throughout the country. Of the 31,200 hilots reported from the survey, about 6000 of the original 9200 who had been trained are still in active practice in 1973-1974. The remainder of the trained group have either died or are sick or no longer in practice. There remains about 25,000 presently practicing hilots who have to be trained. In view of the continuing active role of the hilot in midwifery practice (48% of the registered births were attended by hilots in 1972), the government will reactivate the hilot teaching program in 1975. The program has a target of 2000 trained hilots in 1975.
