Cross-sectional study reveals high maternal health vulnerabilities linked to gender inequality in rural women, highlighting the urgent need for accessible antenatal care.

Key Points

Maternal health vulnerabilities remain severe across rural communities, driven by low health literacy and compounded by entrenched poverty alongside persistent gender inequality.
Statistical correlation of 65.60% linked poverty to maternal health vulnerabilities, while gender inequality accounted for 10.50% among participating rural women.
Cross-sectional study utilizing the socio-ecological model and regression techniques underscores systemic obstacles, calling for culturally tailored antenatal care initiatives.
