Disrespect and abuse (D&A) experienced by women during facility-based childbirth has gained global recognition as a threat to eliminating preventable maternal mortality and morbidity. This study explored the frequency and associated factors of D&A in four rural health centres in Ethiopia. Experiences of women who delivered in these facilities were captured by direct observation of client-provider interaction (N = 193) and exit interview at time o…
Intelligent Technologies for Self-Sustaining, RFID-Based, Rural e-Health Systems
Community-based healthcare is increasingly important for the well-being of inhabitants of emerging economies.
