Disrupted Service Delivery? The Impact of Conflict on Antenatal Care Quality in Kenya

African countries facing conflict have higher levels of maternal mortality. Understanding the gaps in the utilization of high-quality maternal health care is essential to improving maternal survival in these states. Few studies have estimated the impact of conflict on the quality of health care. In...

Understanding the gaps in the utilization of high-quality maternal health care is essential to improving maternal survival in these states. Few studies have estimated the impact of conflict on the quality of health care. In this study, we estimated the impact of conflict on the quality of health care in Kenya, a country with multiple overlapping conflicts and significant disparities in maternal survival. Our study demonstrates the importance of designing maternal health policy based on the context-specific evidence on the mechanisms through which conflict affects health care. In Kenya, deterioration of equipment and infrastructure does not appear to be the main mechanism through which conflict has affected ANC quality. Further research should focus on better understanding the determinants of the gaps in process quality in conflict-affected settings, including provider motivation, competence, and incentives. 2021-05-12T18:41:25Z 2021-05-12T18:41:25Z 2021-02-28 Journal Article Frontiers in Global Women's Health http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35560 CC BY 4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 World Bank Frontiers Media Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research Africa Africa Eastern and Southern (AFE) Kenya
