Lived experiences of maternal near misses: a qualitative study in the Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania
Maternal near misses have a great impact on women's physical, financial, and mental well-being. Women also experience long service waiting times, communication barriers, and neglect. Good healthcare, person-centred care, patient education, and psychological support can improve women's lived experiences.
