Abstract
the availability of delivery services does not guarantee use and instead specific considerations and conditions during pregnancy and in and around the time of birth influence the preventive health seeking behaviour of women during childbirth. Our findings have implications for birth preparedness and complication readiness initiatives that aim to strengthen timely use of SBAs for all births. Demand side strategies to reduce barriers to health seeking, as part of an overall health system strengthening approach, are needed to meet the Millennium Development 5 goal.
