Evaluation of the free maternal health care initiative in Ghana
Overview
The main objectives of the evaluation were: to evaluate the impact of the MoH‘s free maternal health care policy on utilisation of skilled delivery services in Ghana; and to evaluate the impact of the free maternal health care policy on quality of maternal health services.
Other objectives of the evaluation were:
• To ascertain the profile of beneficiaries of the free maternal health care policy. Indicate the profile of net beneficiaries in terms of geographical location and distance to nearest health facility, income and educational levels and how these variables influenced their health seeking behaviours.
• To describe the process and challenges in the implementation of the guidelines on free maternal health care policy at all levels of service delivery.
• To describe the process and challenges in the implementation of the guidelines on the free maternal health care policy within the NHIS and the MoH.
• To ascertain the perspectives of the beneficiaries (pregnant women and other stakeholders) of the policy including understanding reasons why women do not or are not able to take advantage of the policy.
• To draw lessons that will feed into the revision of the policy and for future initiatives.
