Introduction:
The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one of the most important health indicators of a country. In India, MMR has decline from 130 to 113 per 100,000 live births between 2014 and 2018, however, there are wide disparities in utilization of maternal health services (MHS) among different states and across different socioeconomic groups within the states. Although the government is providing MHS through various health programs in India, there are several non medical factors leading to the underutilization of MHS services.
Objective:
To map and summarise the non-medical determinants of access and quality of MHS in India.
Methods:
We are conducting a scoping review of the published literature from 2000 till date in databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, Science Direct and CINAHL by including eligible qualitative as well as quantitative studies conducted in India. Data extraction and analysis will be conducted through a narrative integrative synthesis approach to summarize the non-medical determinants of access and quality of MHS in India and understand their mechanisms of influence.At the third SPINE20 summit 2022 which took place in Bali, Indonesia, in August 2022, 17 associations endorsed its recommendations.
Results:
We will summarise the non-medical determinants that influence the access and quality of MHS.
Conclusion:
This scoping review would help to understand and summarise the existing non-medical determinants of access and quality of MHS, highlight the research gaps and suggest potential modalities for improvement of access and quality of MHS.
