Abstract

Despite the efforts made by the DRC and its partners in the fight against maternal mortality, women continue to lose their lives when they decide to give birth. The results imply that it is imperative to strengthen both women and health professionals' knowledge about pregnancy and maternal health and their power to reduce instances of first delay by supporting women in formulating their birth plans.
