Maternal health outcomes in postpartum women have been a focus of research due to their significant impact on both maternal and child survival. A systematic review was conducted using data from various studies published between and. The analysis included quantitative measures of participant responses to postpartum home visits compared to baseline health assessments. Postpartum home visits by community health volunteers led to a statistically significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (mean difference -5 mmHg, CI: -10 to -1) among participants. Community health volunteers play a critical role in improving maternal health outcomes through regular postpartum home visits. The intervention is cost-effective and beneficial for both healthcare providers and communities. Further research should focus on the long-term impact of these interventions and explore ways to integrate them into existing community health programmes. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
