Factors associated with quality of postnatal care in Kenya: an analysis of the 2022 Kenya demographic and health survey
The proportion of mothers receiving quality PNC was found to be low. The study also highlights the need to continue encouraging mothers to attend numerous ANC visits. Moreover, emphasis should be placed on providing quality ANC, intrapartum care, and respectful maternity care by health workers. Targeted interventions to increase access to quality PNC may need to focus on young mothers, mothers living in certain regions of Kenya, and those giving birth to female babies, most especially at private health facilities, and through vaginal birth.
