“…Women whose husbands were literate were more likely to use PNC than women whose husbands were illiterate. This finding was supported by the studies done in Ethiopia ( Adane et al, 2020b ), Bangladesh ( Adane et al, 2020b ), Nigeria ( Igboanusi et al, 2019 ; Ononokpono et al, 2020 ). The potential explanation for this may be that educated husbands communicate better with their wives and are more willing to discuss the use of PNC services as well as other maternal health services ( Adane et al, 2020b ).…”

“…This study found that in terms of human resource, the majority of the HCWs who took deliveries and performed immediate newborn care were CHEWs and JCHEWs. This was so in both public and private facilities and is similar to the situation in [19][20][21][22][23] other parts of Nigeria. Community health workers and different categories of HCWs with various nomenclature also serve as birth attendants and perform immediate newborn care especially in PHCs in other LIMCs and some even in 24,25 secondary facilities.…”

“…2 Despite the importance of providing quality health care services by skilled health care professionals during and immediately after childbirth to mothers and infants, the postnatal periods are usually neglected by most mothers due to sociocultural factors associated with new-borns. [3][4][5] Meanwhile, studies have shown that mothers who attend health facilities during postnatal periods where skilled health professionals can identify, observe and manage any health challenge that may arise in the lives of the mothers and their newborn babies [6][7] stand a chance of preventing the occurrence of body and mental damage, 8 as well as child morbidity and mortality than those who did not. 9 Although there has been incredible progress in the global under-five mortality rate which had reduced from 93 deaths (in 1990) and 76 deaths (in 2000) to 39 deaths per 1,000 live births in 201810, the reduction in this rate is uneven across regions and income levels in the world.…”

“…While several studies on postnatal care have focused on the use, non-use and barriers to the use of modern health care services during this period, [4][5] there is limited or little attention paid to the relationship between regional differences in postnatal care services and child morbidity which is a critical factor in under-five mortality. Take, for example, Olajubu et al 5 examined the predictors of postnatal care utilisation among women in a facilitybased study in Nigeria, it was found that age and education were strong predictors of postnatal care services utilisation.…”
