Master of Public Health - MPH / Access to appropriate health care service during childbirth is a great challenge to many women in
Africa and Namibia is no exception. More than 70% of women in Otjozondjupa region experienced
some form of delay during childbirth, and while maternal mortality continued to rise over the years
in Namibia it is currently at about 265/100 000, which is too high for a middle-income country.
Hence, this study aimed to get a deeper understanding of the perceptions of women who
experienced any of the three delays in accessing appropriate health care during childbirth in
Otjiwarongo hospital.
