“We never leave anyone behind”: a qualitative study of stakeholders’ perspectives on disability-inclusive maternity care in Cambodia
This study provided the context of the disability-inclusive maternity care in Cambodia from the perspectives of key stakeholders. The study highlighted that the Cambodian health system was inadequately responding to the maternity care needs of women with disabilities. A collaborative approach among government staff and relevant stakeholders is needed to develop a disability-inclusive maternity care policy and ensure effective implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Additionally, capacity building for healthcare providers with disability inclusion is essential to ensure that women with disabilities are not left behind when they access maternity care.
