Levels and Determinants of Person-Centred Maternity Care among Women Living in Urban Informal Settlements: Evidence from Client Exit Surveys in Nairobi, Lusaka and Ouagadougou

Abstract

Sub-Saharan Africa's rapid urbanisation has led to the sprawling of urban informal settlements. The urban poorest women are more likely to experience worse health outcomes and poor treatment during childbirth. This study measures levels of person-centred maternity care (PCMC) and identifies determinants of PCMC among women living in urban informal settlements in Nairobi, Lusaka and Ouagadougou.
