Description
INTRODUCTION The International Safe Motherhood Initiative was launched with the aim of reducing maternal mortality throughout the world (1). To achieve this goal, this initiative aspires to enable each woman to have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery by providing high-quality maternity services to all. These services include the provision of care by skilled health personnel before, during, and after childbirth. Pregnancy outcomes improve as a result of early and regular use of antenatal and postnatal care services (2). Despite fairly good distribution of maternal and child health/family-planning (MCH/FP) programmes that deliver antenatal and postnatal care in Botswana, some women do not use these facilities. Owuor-Omondi and Kobue noted that toxaemia accounts for an unusually large percentage of maternal deaths, which may imply poor coverage of antenatal care and/or lack of knowledge among women about the complications (3).
