Overview

Cross-sectional survey highlights the role of skilled birth attendants and accessibility in reducing maternal mortality in rural Pakistan.

Key Points

  • Improved access to skilled birth attendants significantly reduces maternal mortality, with a p-value of 0.006 indicating strong association.
  • 84.4% of women reported availability of antenatal care, while only 48.9% had access to continuous delivery services, posing a challenge.
  • Cross-sectional survey analyzed data from 180 women, focusing on maternal health service availability and accessibility factors.
  • Enhancing maternal health services in rural areas is crucial to address the systemic healthcare disparities contributing to maternal mortality.
