Maternal satisfaction with emergency obstetric and newborn care services in Ethiopia and the associated factors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…According to this systematic review and meta-analysis, the pooled prevalence of maternal satisfaction with EmONC services in Ethiopia was 63.15% (95% CI: 49.48–76.82). This finding is in line with a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies conducted in Pakistan and Indonesia in which the pooled prevalence was 63% 35 and 56.4%, 36 respectively. This variation might be a result of differences in the level of quality service offered, an increased awareness of maternity care services, a change in mothers’ expectations, or the type of health facilities offering the delivery services.…”
