Five countries in sub-Saharan Africa use nonphysicians to perform major emergency obstetrical surgery. In Tanzania, assistant medical officers provide most of this surgery outside of major cities. Questions about the quality of surgery by nonphysicians have kept most African countries from following this example. We reviewed the records of all patients admitted for complicated deliveries to fourteen district hospitals during four months. Among 1,134 complicated deliveries and 1,072 major obstetrical operations, there were no significant differences between assistant medical officers and medical officers in outcomes, risk indicators, or quality. There were significant differences between mission and government hospitals. [Health Affairs 28, no. 5 (2009): w876-w885 (published online 6 August 2009; 10.1377/hlthaff.28.5.w876)]
