Maternal mortality remains a significant public health concern in Nairobi slums, despite recent improvements. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data from healthcare records and qualitative insights from focus group discussions was employed. During the study period, there was a statistically significant reduction in maternal mortality (p < 0. 05) with an estimated risk ratio of 0. 76 (95% CI: 0. 62-0. 93). Community health worker programmes effectively contributed to reducing maternal mortality rates, highlighting their importance for future public health interventions. Continuation and expansion of community-based healthcare services are recommended based on the observed effectiveness. maternal mortality, Nairobi slums, community health workers, longitudinal study The empirical specification follows Y=₀+^ X+, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
