The WHO companionship model recommends that women choose a companion who remains continuously present during labour and childbirth. In the Burkinabé facilities studied, companionship was limited by space, privacy concerns, and social norms. Continuous companions could help women obtain provider attention during pain or critical moments. Labour companionship is presented as a strategy for improving women’s childbirth experiences.
