ABSTRACT
The partograph is part of the midwifery tools of practice, used everyday, but rarely questioned. This paper explores the history of the partograph and describes its development from 1954. It examines the components of the partograph and discusses when one should be commenced. The value of the partograph in practice today is questioned.
