Trends in health facility deliveries by time, region, and sociodemographic characteristics in low- and middle- income countries
This study contributes to existing research by examining trends in health facility deliveries over time, across regions, and by key demographic factors. The findings offer insights for future policy interventions aimed at reducing maternal and infant mortality, including improvements in transportation support, affordability, and maternal health education, particularly among disadvantaged populations such as rural poor women.
