Maternal Mortality: A Global Tragedy
• In 2013, 289 000
women died from
complications of
pregnancy or
childbirth.
– 99% in developing
world
– >50% of them in
Africa

Progress towards Millennium
Development Goal 5
Countdown of 75 countries, account for 95% of all deaths.
Nine countries are on track; 25 made insufficient or no progress.

Causes of Maternal Mortality
Source: Countdown to 2015, 2010.
*Malaria, HIV, accident etc..
**Obstructed labor, ambolism etc..

• 1st delay: delay in decision to seek care
• Lack of understanding of complications
• Acceptance of maternal death
• Low status of women
• Socio-cultural barriers to seeking care
• 2nd delay: delay in reaching care
• Mountains, islands, rivers
• Distance to health centres and hospitals
• Availability of and cost of transportation
• 3rd delay: delay in receiving care
• Supplies, personnel
• Poorly trained personnel with punitive attitude

Coverage of care
• Good quality maternal health
services are not universally
available and accessible
– > 35% receive no antenatal
care
– ~ 50% of deliveries
unattended by skilled
provider
– ~ 70% receive no
postpartum care during 1st 6
weeks following delivery

In Burkina Faso, household costs related to maternal care has been
progressively reduced: i. abolition of ANC user fees, 2002; ii. subsidy for
C-sections, 2006; iii. subsidy for all deliveries, 2007. (De Allegri, Valerie, 2012)
User fee abolitions

Poor transport specially in rural areas in LMIC is one
of the avoidable factors.
• scarcity of transportation
• distance
• cost of transport
• poor road conditions

Three wheeler motor van (Mom’s van)
for transportation of women with
obstetric emergency
![Page 28: Maternal Health 2014 nazmul](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a6eb771a28abdd058b4622/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Mostly in Africa, where it needs more….
- RESCUER project in Uganda
- Yellow flag initiative in Nigeria
- Safe motherhood transport plan- Malawi
But existing transport intervention are either inadequate,
urban focused, facing management or sustainability
problem
Existing transport intervention:

Objectives
• to understand availability transportation and
referral network during obstetric emergencies in
rural areas
• to assess acceptability, feasibility and utilization
of ‘Mom’s van’ intervention
Goal: Contribute in reduction of maternal mortality to
achieve MDG targets

Formative research
Qualitative and quantitative methods have
been used:
Those methods included:
• Literature review,
• Survey with a semi structured
questionnaire,
• In-depth interviews with key informants,
• Focus group discussions (FGDs),

• A three wheeler, suitable for rural roads, safer than two
wheeler.
• Cell phone connectivity to help rapid communication
with families and service providers.
• Manage by community support group to promote sense
of ownership, included women in committee
• Adopted a business model for limited income generation
for sustainability.
• Will carry women from poor families for free to promote
equity.
Key features/innovations:

How it helps:
•Availability of Mom’s van in the community will help
reduce 1st delay (decision making)
•Women with complications can reach facilities in
less 60 minutes (2nd delay).
• Mobile connectivity will help reduce delay at the
facility (3rd delay).
![Page 41: Maternal Health 2014 nazmul](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a6eb771a28abdd058b4622/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Major outcomes:
• Acceptability: acceptability will be assessed by
interviewing women who received services and their
family head .
• Feasibility: feasibility will be assessed by measuring cost,
management and administrative issues
• Effectiveness: measuring distal outcome like met need,
travel time, referral rate, etc..
