Involving men in maternity care: health service delivery issues (pdf 142kb)
This study explores the feasibility to involve men in the reproductive health care of their partners in Southern Africa. The report explores the traditional role of men not being involved in the reproductive care of their partners. It looks into this further to see how such behaviour relates with:- Lack of men's knowledge in maternity care
- Men's interest in their partner's reproductive health
- Poor couple communication
The study finds that both men and women were interested in men's involvement during maternity care. However, that there remain a number of health service delivery challenges that need to be addressed before maternity services become more male friendly.
