Assessment of the Effects of Short Messages Communications to Pregnant Women's Male Partners on the Institutional Child Deliveries in Tabora Municipality, Tanzania

Maternal mortality remains to be a global public health problem, especially in Sub Saharan Africa especially in Tanzania where maternal mortality ratio is 556 per 100,000 live births. This is far away from the strategic development goal targeting 70 per 100,000 live birth by 2030. The major contribution is low health facilities deliveries which are partly contributed by individual factors, policies and health systems. This study aimed at increasing health facilities deliveries to prevent the direct cause of maternal death and indirect through accessing preventive interventions such as PMTCT.
