Effective coverage for maternal health: operationalising effective coverage cascades for antenatal care and nutrition interventions for pregnant women in seven low- and middle-income countries
The cascade approach provided useful summary measures that identified major barriers to EC. However, detailed measures underlying the steps of the cascade are likely needed to support evidence-based decision-making with more actionable information. This analysis highlights the importance of understanding bottlenecks in achieving health outcomes and the inter-connectedness of service access and service quality to improve health in LMICs.
