“…Furthermore, the study of Dalinjong et al (2018) revealed that the rich often live in urban territories with greater availability, better framework, and sufficient resources which enable them to access better health services comparing with the poor people living in rural settings. These findings are in line with the findings of (Iacoella & Tirivayi, 2019;Muzyamba et al, 2019;Rahman et al, 2017;Stephen & Joshua, 2016;W. Wang et al, 2017;X.…”

“…Wang, 2017;. The wealthier section can likewise more promptly manage the cost of services and the persevering out of pocket expense for specific deliveries and so more likely to get maternal health services (O. E. Dalinjong et al, 2018;Haider et al, 2017;Iacoella & Tirivayi, 2019;Koroma et al, 2017;McNamee et al, 2009;R. K. Rai et al, 2013;Wong et al, 2017;, these findings are also documented in the literature of Anyait et al (2012), Kitui et al (2013), Ononokpono and Azfredrick (2014) and Shahjahan et al (2017).…”

“…On this ground, husband's education also plays a critical role. In most cases, educated or highly educated husbands always seek better care for their wives as evident from the study of Rajesh Kumar Rai et al (2012), R. K. Rai et al (2013), Browne et al (2016), Enuameh et al (2016), Iacoella and Tirivayi (2019) and Hwang and Park (2019). O. E. Banke-Thomas et al (2017).…”

“…Access to media, in this regard, can be a good solution to increase health literacy, particularly for the poorer section. In their study, Iacoella and Tirivayi (2019) claimed that exposure to media played a potential role to increase health knowledge of the women in comparison with those who do not have access to media. Studies of R. K. Rai et al (2013) and A. Banke-Thomas et al (2017), claimed that knowledge regarding health through media can be an influential predictor to increase consciousness about the utilization of maternal health care services, mainly among the women in Kenya and Malawi.…”

“…The study of Rana et al (2019) explained employment as a possible cause of empowerment which enables women to decide fertility choice and access to maternal health services. Studies of Khaki and Sithole (2019) and Iacoella and Tirivayi (2019) in Malawi found a strong relationship between women's employment and utilization of postnatal care. These findings are also similar in the context of Ethiopia, Nepal, and many other lower-middleincome countries (Babalola & Fatusi, 2009;Dhaher et al, 2008;Dhakal et al, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the basic constraints to get access to maternal healthcare utilization during the pre-and post-delivery period of women in selected lower-middle-income countries around the world. This paper is a review of the literature of previous articles published from 2000 to 2019 in different database. The findings of the study show that different types of intervening factors including socioeconomic status, health literacy of the women and their husband, education, employment status, decision-making power of the women and religion significantly influence the full and free access to the maternal health care facilities in lower-middleincome countries.

The study analysed antenatal care (ANC) services usage trends related to exposure to mass media based upon data from three Nepal Demographic and Health Surveys [NDHS] conducted in 2006, 2011, and 2016. Total 12,212 women aged 15‐49 having live births within five years preceding each survey included in the study. Most independent variables were found to be associated with utilisation of ANC services. For example, exposure to TV illustrated an increasing services trend. Seventy‐three percent of the women had exposure to Radio followed by TV (65%), and newspaper (25%). All three media were significantly associated with ANC services in all surveys (p < 0.05). High exposure to Newspapers were (2.5 times, 95%CI: 1.93–3.19), Radio (1.3 times, 95%CI: 1.13–1.46), and TV (1.6 times, 95%CI: 1.36–1.76) more likely to result in adequate (≥4) ANC visits. Age and age at marriage; caste and educational status of women; place of residence; wealth status; and women's decision‐making autonomy were significant predictors for adequate ANC visits. ANC services utilisation trends increased gradually, but not satisfactory. Most socio‐demographic variables were also significant predictors for utilizing ANC services. All these predictors should be used to guide ANC services promotion policies and interventions.
