- W117453497 abstract "In Africa South of the Sahara, lots of women die during pregnancy and childbirth largely due to lack of access to skilled routine and emergency care. There is consensus that a well functioning health system is imperative in providing quality maternal care to reduce maternal mortality. This study sought to assess the quality of maternal health care delivery in the Tamale metropolis of Ghana. It was a descriptive cross-sectional survey; probability proportional to size was used to select participants. The study samples were made up of 390 women of child bearing age who attended the health facilities and 75 health personnel in five facilities. Two focus group discussions were also held in two randomly selected communities of the metropolis. The key findings were that there was general client dissatisfaction. This was expressed in long waiting time, dirty environment and unfriendly staff attitude. 88.7%, 41.3% and 60.5% expressed dissatisfaction with the waiting time, dirty facility environment and unfriendly staff attitude respectively. The study also found that very critical and important materials such as emergency drugs and blood were in short supply. 54.8% of respondents who went on emergency admissions could not get emergency drugs at the facility and 82.2% who needed to be transfused could not be transfused immediately because blood was not readily available. The numbers of Health personnel were found to be inadequate. They had little or no refresher training in dealing with emergency maternal health care issues. The study concludes that given this situation in a metropolis, makes the achievement of MDG five a long shot, particularly In Ghana where majority of the population live in rural and underserved communities." @default.
