The association between male involvement in institutional delivery and women’s use of institutional delivery in Debre Tabor town, North West Ethiopia: Community based survey

Abstract

Male partner's involvement in institutional delivery was inadequate. This study reported a significant beneficial impact of male involvement on maternal health through improved utilisation of institutional delivery. Therefore, maternal health interventions should target husbands as consumers of maternal health services, and healthcare/government policies that isolate or discourage men from having active engagement in maternal health should be improved.
