Final Caregivers' Perspectives on Access to Care in Obstetric Emergencies in Rural Indonesia
Posted: Thursday Jan 14, 2010
This advance online publication in the Journal of Biosocial Science examines access to care in obstetric emergencies from the perspectives of service users.
The final caregivers of 104 women who died in pregnancy and childbirth were interviewed in two rural districts of Indonesia using an adapted verbal autopsy. Qualitative analysis revealed social and economic barriers to access and barriers that arose from the health system itself. Based on this and other key conclusions drawn from the study the authors highlight the value of verbal autopsy surveys to provide important information for equitable health planning.
