This study reveals low health facility birth preparedness among Indigenous Maasai women, influenced by socioeconomic challenges, limited knowledge, and poor infrastructure. To address this, multifaceted interventions are needed to improve financial access, education, and healthcare quality. A sustainable approach requires collaboration between the health sector, local government, and community leaders. Ensuring equity in maternal healthcare is crucial, particularly for marginalized indigenous populations. Addressing systemic barriers like poor road infrastructure is essential to improving access. These strategies are vital for better birth preparedness and maternal health outcomes in the region
