Assessing the barriers to maternal, newborn and child health service utilization in internally displaced people (IDPs): a community-based cross-sectional study in Banadir, Somalia
Barriers to MNCH service utilization in IDP settings are multi-faceted, with education, immunization, and socio-economic constraints playing key roles. Strengthening community-based interventions, integrating MNCH services with immunization programs, and addressing structural barriers could enhance maternal and child health outcomes in Banadir.
