Who is left behind on the road to universal facility delivery? A cross‐sectional multilevel analysis in rural <scp>T</scp>anzania

Abstract

Poverty, multiparity, weak ANC and distance to hospital were associated with persistence of home delivery in a region with high coverage of facility delivery. A pro-poor path to universal coverage of safe delivery requires a greater focus on quality of care and more intensive outreach to poor and multiparous women.
