Accessibility and barriers to maternal health services for adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review

Given their reproductive health vulnerabilities, maternal health services targeting adolescents should be prioritized in Sub-Saharan Africa. Interventions must address both access barriers and critically improve service quality, including provider training in adolescent-sensitive care, though the current evidence base on quality-specific interventions is limited. Further research is needed to develop standardized metrics for quality care in this population.
