“…It is also found that this result is lower than studies done in rural nomads in rural western China 47.4% [54] and study conducted in nomad tribal population of Rajasthan, India 30% [55]. In the reverse, the pooled prevalence of institutional delivery in this meta-analysis was higher than a systematic review done among tribes of India which showed 17.7% [56].…”

“…The other variable found to have significant association with institutional delivery in this meta-analysis was availability of health facility within a shorter distance. This is supported by a study done among pastoralists in Kenya [60], a literature review in Ghana [59], and a review of studies among nomads [51], African pastoralists [27], and tribes of India [56].…”

Background. Pastoralist communities rely on their livestock for at least 50% of their food supply and source of income. Home births raise the risk of maternal morbidity and death, whereas institutional births lessen the likelihood of difficulties during labor. Around 70% of labors in pastoralist regions of Ethiopia were assisted by traditional birth attendants. Methods. Studies done from January 2004 to January 2023, accessed in PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and other search engines, were included. PRISMA guidelines and JBI critical appraisal checklist were used to assure the quality of the review. Ten articles were included in this review. Data were extracted with Excel and exported to STATA 16 for analysis. Heterogeneity of literatures was evaluated using I 2 statistics and publication bias using the Egger regression asymmetry test and the Duval and Tweedie trim-fill analysis. Statistical significance was declared at p value less than 0.05. Result. The pooled estimate of institutional delivery among the pastoralist community in Ethiopia is 21.2% (95% CI: 16.2-26.1). Husbands who were involved to decide place of delivery ( OR = 3.47 ; 95% CI: 1.61, 7.50), women with good knowledge of MCH services ( OR = 2.283 ; 95% CI: 1.51, 3.44), women who had a positive attitude towards MCH services ( OR = 1.69 ; 95% CI: 0.79, 3.6), availability of health institutions ( OR = 2.6 ; 95% CI: 0.95, 7.20), and women who had an ANC follow-up ( OR = 2.78 ; 95% CI: 2.07, 3.73) were higher institutional delivery prevalence among pastoralist women. Moreover, institutional delivery among women who were educated above the college level was more than two times ( OR = 2.56 ; 95% CI: 1.985, 3.304) higher than among women who were not educated. Conclusion. Pastoralist women in Ethiopia were found to be a disadvantaged group for institutional delivery at national level. Husband involvement, educational level, ANC visit, knowledge and attitude for MCH service, and health facility distance were identified to have significant association with institutional delivery.

Indigenous people often have poor health due to a lack of access to health care. We studied healthcare-seeking behaviors and associated factors of Orang Asli populations living in remote hilly areas of Peninsular Malaysia. A house-to-house survey was done in 11 of 28 randomly selected villages. A sample of 225 Adults aged 18 years and above were interviewed about healthcare-seeking behavior for an episode of illness 30 days before the survey date. Factors associated with appropriate healthcare-seeking behavior as determined by binary logistic regression analyses. More than a third of the Orang Asli adults (88/225) did not consult any healthcare provider (39%) for which ‘illness does not need treatment’ or ‘not sick enough’ (22%) and no transportation (12%) were the main reasons. Being of older age (aOR 0.95, 95%CI 0.9, 0.98), income higher than 500 Malaysian Ringgits per month (aOR 2.35, 95%CI 1.04, 5.39), perception of illness as ‘severe’(aOR 54.79 95% CI 12.61, 239.9), and closer distance of health facility (aOR 0.86 95% CI 0.81, 0.93) were associated with appropriate healthcare-seeking behavior. Health promotion campaigns are needed to improve awareness about common illnesses and improve care-seeking behavior.
