Perceived quality of maternal care and its barriers based on women’s perspective in hospitals of Northwest Ethiopia: a qualitative study
Participants articulate a multifaceted understanding of quality maternal care that encompasses emotional support, accessibility, cleanliness, timely interventions, and respectful treatment. They also identify significant barriers that stem from facility limitations, provider attitudes and knowledge, and administrative inefficiencies. Addressing these barriers is essential for enhancing the quality of maternal health services.
