“…The contribution of these causative factors were considerably vary from previous reports in which unsafe abortion and sepsis were the predominant causes of death of mothers [1] but obstructed labor and bacterial sepsis were found to be the leading contributors of death in this referral Hospital. Our results were consistently similar to reports from Jimma Hospital where obstructed labor increasingly contributed to maternal death over 10 years [7].…”

“…Maternal mortality review from Jimma Hospital showed that higher number of deaths occurred in high risk group, primiparous and grand multiparous but less risk of death in 2-4 parity. Data from our retrospective study found out different trends in relation of maternal mortality and parity level where in ours death occurred in multipara only [7]. Studies have clearly suggested that many numbers of pregnancies significantly increase risk of maternal death [8].…”

“…Mothers those travelling beyond 5 kilometres from health facilities were fourteen times more likely to delay in reaching to health care facility compared to those living within five kilometres. Similarly, the study conducted in Ethiopia, rural Zambia and Pakistan showed independently association of distance with 2nd delay [14,19,20]. The study which conducted on "International Federation Rural Transport Development" inferences that as 10% increases in distance from a hospital, maternal and neonatal death increased by 2% [21].…”

Labour and delivery are the shortest and most critical period during pregnancy and childbirth. The major factors that contribute to maternal death in developing countries are: delay in deciding to seek care, identifying and reaching medical facility, and receiving adequate and appropriate treatment. The study aimed to determine delays in institutional delivery and associated factors among mothers attending public health facilities, southern Ethiopia. Facility based Cross sectional study was employed on 397 labouring mothers attending Negist Elene Mohamed memorial general hospital. The sample size was determined by using single population proportion formula and the data were collected consecutively until the required sample sizes achieved. Descriptive data analysis was conducted to identify summary values and multiple logistic regressions were performed to identify independent predictors for the delays. All the analysis was done using SPSS for windows version 16.0. A total of 384 labouring mothers were participated in this study. The proportion of mothers who exhibited the first delay was 154(40.1%). Maternal unemployment [AOR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.118, 5.441]; husband educational status [AOR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.204, 4.408]; and antenatal care visit [AOR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.277, 0.713] were the independent predictors of the first delay. Mothers who experienced the second delay were 114(29.7%). For this delay, distance [AOR,14; CI, 7.895, 26.558]; uneducated mothers [AOR,3; 95% CI, 1.397, 6.711]; and means of transportation [AOR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.314, 0.995]

“…A recent review of global, regional, and national rates of cesarean delivery showed that the lowest regional rate (3.5%) was in Africa; in the 49 lowest-resource countries, the rates ranged from 0.4% in Chad to 6% in Cape Verde, with an average of 2% [8]. Cesarean rates among women in urban areas are approximately 3 times those among women in rural areas [8][9][10][11]. The Ethiopia 2005 Demographic and Health Survey reported a cesarean rate of 1%, ranging from 0.1% in Benishangul-Gumuz to 16% in Addis Ababa [6].…”

The study showed little progress in the proportion of all births delivered by cesarean and a high rate of cesarean among women attended in the private sector--indicating a need to monitor the appropriateness of obstetric care in all sectors and to increase access in rural areas. Clinical management protocols for obstetric and newborn care are needed, and audits of cesareans should be performed at all institutions, especially in the private sector. The importance of improving record keeping is crucial for informed local decision-making.
