How to use a partograph to assess women in labour

This film shows how to use a partograph correctly. The partograph is a graphic record of vital observations to assess progress during labour. Correct use of the partograph can help to prevent and manage prolonged or obstructed labour and other serious complications such as a ruptured uterus, obstetric fistula and stillbirth. The film is for use in health worker training.
