Health systems responsiveness towards needs of pregnant women in Vietnam
These findings highlight the need to improve the responsiveness of the Vietnamese health system to meet pregnant women's expectations, mainly in relation to prompt attention and communication. This study also highlights the importance of specifically targeting efforts towards improving the responsiveness of the public health sector. Integrating maternal and mental health at the primary care-level can be one approach to tackle the mental health treatment gap experienced by pregnant women in Vietnam. This can promote early detection and intervention of CPMDs, but may also contribute towards reducing mental health-related stigma.
