Abstract:
Maternal mortality rates are still unacceptably high in many countries, indicating violation of
women´s human right to life and health. Access to adequate information about maternal
health rights and available services are essential aspects of realizing women´s right to
accessible health care. This study aimed at assessing awareness of the right to access
maternal health services among women who had recently given birth, and the association
between such awareness and the utilization of maternal health services in two districts in
Tanzania.
