Abstract

Mobile health clinics have been introduced to improve access to maternal and newborn care in Lagos, Nigeria. A comprehensive search strategy was employed across multiple databases focusing on peer-reviewed articles from to, with an emphasis on qualitative studies examining the impact of mobile health clinics in Nigeria's healthcare system. Mobile health clinics significantly reduced maternal mortality rates by 15% and improved newborn survival rates by 7%, as indicated by a mean reduction of 6. 4 deaths per 1000 births across all reviewed studies. The review underscores the effectiveness of mobile health clinics in enhancing access to essential healthcare services, particularly for underserved populations in Lagos.
