Improving respectful maternity care through group antenatal care

Findings from a cluster randomized controlled trial

Disrespect and patient mistreatment have been cited as barriers to adherence and healthcare utilization, contributing to the slow progress in meeting maternal and child health targets, particularly in Ghana.

Group antenatal care, an alternative to routine individualized care, is recommended by the World Health Organization as an effective service delivery model for low- and middle-income countries. This study examined the impact of group antenatal care on respectful maternity care compared to individual-based antenatal care, including mothers' perceptions of respectful care.
