The effects of community-based interventions on the uptake of selected maternal and child health services: experiences of the IMCHA project in Iringa Tanzania, 2015-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Maternal and child health (MCH) improvement has been prioritised in resource-constrained countries. This is due to the desire to meet the global sustainable development goals of achieving a maternal mortality rate of 70 per 100000 live births by 2030. The uptake of key maternal and child health services is crucial for reducing maternal and child health mortalities. Community-Based Interventions (CBIs) have been regarded as among the important strategies to improve maternal and child health service uptake. However, a paucity of studies examines the impacts of CBIs and related strategies on maternal and child health. This paper unveils the contribution of CBIs toward improving MCH in Tanzania.

Methods
