Assessing the Quality of Maternal Mental Illness Care Across Maternity Care Settings in Southwestern Uganda

The capacity to screen and manage MMI is suboptimal, and women with MMI are unable to recognize that they are unwell. It is crucial to enhance the proportion of women with MMI who are adequately diagnosed and treated by increasing the number of maternal care providers who are skilled and knowledgeable about MMI. There is also a need to raise public awareness about the causes and presentation of MMI, as well as what constitutes quality care, to enhance health-seeking behaviors and encourage service-user-driven quality improvement.
