The authors, both renowned anthropologists and emerging voices, showcase the immense value of ethnography and the usefulness of reproduction as a lens through which to gain profound insights into the intimate encounters between professionals and laypeople concerning policy.

The role of traditional birth attendants in global maternal health
Donor-driven maternal health programs in Tanzania
Efforts to integrate qualitative evidence in WHO maternal and child health policy-making
