Maternity waiting homes (MWHs) are residential facilities located near a health facility to accommodate women in their final weeks of pregnancy to bridge the geographic gap in obstetric care between rural and urban areas and areas with poor access to a facility. Thus, to save the life of mothers, World health organization (WHO), adopted MWH as one component of a comprehensive package to prevent maternal morbidity and mortality to those women from the remote area but later it used for risky pregnancy. Yet, there is a shortage of information on the magnitude of intention and utilization of MWH among pregnant women in the study area. |
