Abstract

This investigation aimed to determine factors that influence women's utilisation of maternal health services, with specific focus on the quality of care and services available to disadvantaged communities in South Africa. It used the women's perspectives to assess the quality of maternal healthcare services in peri-urban commercial farming and rural areas with the purpose of understanding why women utilise maternal services the way they do.
