Using data between 2003 and 2016, this paper assesses the degree and evolution of socio‐economic inequalities in maternal health outcomes in four African countries. The study measures the trends of socio‐economic inequalities in maternal healthcare and assesses the sources of socio‐economic inequalities in maternal health through a decomposition approach. We find cross‐country differences in the evolution of maternal healthcare inequalities. Rwanda and Uganda witnessed a decline in pro‐rich inequalities, whereas changes in Ethiopia and Kenya have been mixed. Further, the study finds significant contributions of personal characteristics of the woman to inequalities in maternal healthcare access
