| Popis: | We evaluated whether antenatal supply-side and demand-side interventions in 10 public health care facilities (HCFs) increased the percentage of women who had four or more antenatal care (ANC4+) visits and HCF deliveries from baseline to follow-up compared with women in 10 public control HCFs in Kenya. We compared maternal registry data during baseline and follow-up periods between public intervention and public control HCFs; we added seven private intervention HCFs and five private control HCFs to evaluate an unanticipated pilot insurance program that enabled women to use private intervention HCFs. From baseline to follow-up, ANC4+ visits and HCF deliveries in public intervention HCFs were 1.64 and 1.19 times greater, respectively, than in public control HCFs. Health care facility deliveries were 1.5 times higher in private intervention HCFs than public intervention HCFs. Results suggested that the combined antenatal and insurance interventions motivated increased ANC4+ visits and HCF deliveries. Women appeared to prefer private HCFs for delivery. |
