Perceptions of quality and the integrated delivery of family planning with childhood immunisation services in Kenya and Uganda.

ABSTRACT: The integration of family planning (FP) with childhood immunisations is considered a promising approach to addressing postpartum women's unmet need for FP in resource limited settings. This study set out to examine client and health provider perceptions of the quality of FP services that were integrated with childhood immunisations in Kenya and Uganda. Semi-structured interviews with clients (n = 30) and health providers (n = 27) were conducted in 16 rural health facilities. Interviews centred on the respondents' experiences receiving/delivering FP services, their interactions with providers/clients, and their views on the quality of FP services. Client and provider perceptions of quality were compared through a thematic analysis of interview transcripts, and findings were synthesised usin
