Abstract

Commonly, women from low socio‐economic background are vul‐ nerable to pregnancy‐related complications (Iliyasu, Abubakar, Galadanci, & Aliyu, 2010; Obiechina, Okolie, Eleje, Okechukwu, & Anemeje, 2011). The peculiarity of their vulnerability predisposes them to finding quicker and cheaper avenues to seek health care. The primary health care (PHC) maternity facilities are to serve this large population of women and their newborns. Services in Nigerian PHC facilities are not completely free, and the costs of available services are relatively determined by staff working in the facilities
