“…The finding that ANC attendance is associated with institution delivery is in line with the expectation and is also reported by other studies [ 1 , 28 , 29 ]. A study in Kenya reported that the use of institutional delivery services was very low even among antenatal care attendees.…”

BackgroundEthiopia has one of the highest maternal mortality in the world. Institutional delivery is the key intervention in reducing maternal mortality and complications. However, the uptake of the service has remained low and the factors which contribute to this low uptake appear to vary widely. Our study aims to determine the magnitude and identify factors affecting delivery at health institution in two districts in Ethiopia.MethodsA community based cross sectional household survey was conducted from January to February 2012 in 12 randomly selected villages of Wukro and Butajera districts in the northern and south central parts of Ethiopia, respectively. Data were collected using a pretested questionnaire from 4949 women who delivered in the two years preceding the survey.ResultsOne in four women delivered the index child at a health facility. Among women who delivered at health facility, 16.1% deliveries were in government hospitals and 7.8% were in health centers. The factors that significantly affected institutional delivery in this study were district in which the women lived (AOR: 2.21, 95% CI: 1.28, 3.82), women age at interview (AOR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.05, 3.62), women’s education (AOR: 3.53, 95% CI: 1.22, 10.20), wealth status (AOR: 16.82, 95% CI: 7.96, 35.54), women’s occupation (AOR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.24), antenatal care (4+) use (AOR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.42, 2.20), and number of pregnancies (AOR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.18,0.35). We found that women who were autonomous in decision making about place of delivery were less likely to deliver in health facility (AOR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.23,0.63).ConclusionsInstitutional delivery is still low in the Ethiopia. The most important factors that determine use of institutional delivery appear to be women education and household economic status.Women’s autonomy in decision making on place of delivery did not improve health facility delivery in our study population.Actions targeting the disadvantaged, improving quality of services and service availability in the area are likely to significantly increase institutional delivery.

“…This corroborates the finding by Ibor et al ., in Ibadan, Nigeria that lacks of access to emergency obstetric care and services have contributed to high maternal mortality in the area. [ 23 ] This agrees with the finding in Zimbabwe; where the poor quality of care provided by the health center staff was attributed to limited availability of services. [ 24 ]…”

Background:In some primary health care settings, even where the health services are not available, provisions are not made to ensure continuity of care. This study aimed to determine the availability and level of continuity of care for maternal health services in the primary health centers (PHCs) in Nnewi, Nigeria.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey. Using multistage sampling technique, 280 women utilizing maternal health services from four randomly selected public PHCs in Nnewi, Nigeria were chosen for the study. Data collection employed a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods.Results:The mean ± standard deviation for age of the respondents was 29.2 ± 5.9 years. The facilities studied provided out-patient services, but the only in-patient services provided was for women who delivered or those in labor. None of the facilities is equipped to provide even basic essential obstetric care services. None had standardized a protocol for referring clients, referral forms, a transport system, or a community loan scheme in place. Forty-four (15.7%) women were referred for care outside of the PHCs for the following reasons: Lack of drugs and supplies (9.1%); lack of equipment (90.9%), lack of skilled personnel (45.5%) among others.Conclusions:This study showed that despite the unavailability of some services, appropriate strategies were not in place to ensure the coherent pattern of services within and between the PHCs and other levels of care. Delivery to the clients of comprehensive and integrated maternal health services, and efficient referral systems are thus recommended.

“…Poverty is one of the major health determinants. Poor mothers are at high risk of developing pregnancy related complications, because they are not financially able to pay for the required services (UNFPA, 2006;Ibor et al, 2011). Maternal death has long term effects on a child's education and health.…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the supposed factors apart from socioeconomic influencing the choice of antenatal care and delivery centres among childbearing women in Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo State. Data were obtained through the administration of two hundred and thirty-one (231) copies of structured questionnaire to childbearing women in four antenatal centres normally utilized in the area. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The Chi Square result indicated that awareness of ANC significantly influenced place of delivery (p<0.05), while the result of Pearson's correlation indicated a low negative and insignificant association between distance and utilization of ANC and delivery services (r-Value = -0.04, p>0.05). The study revealed that husband's decision or preference of ANC and privacy constituted the prominent factors that influenced the choice of ANC as well as place of delivery. It further revealed that the highest patronage of ANC and delivery centres was achieved with distance of <5km, while the lowest patronage was achieved when the approximate distance was > 10km. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that husbands should be encouraged and educated on the need to give their wives free hand in deciding places of ANC and delivery centres.
