Abstract:

INTRODUCTION. The perinatal mortality rate is of concern worldwide. In South Africa at the time of the study, 2000, it was estimated to be of the order of 40/1000 live births. However in the setting in which this study took place, namely Tembisa, (Ekhuruleni, Gauteng, South Africa) it was said to be 50/1000 live births. One of the patient- related avoidable factors that has been found to be associated with perinatal and to a lesser extent maternal mortality, is either no, or late initiation of antenatal care. It has been found in an area which, is in many respects similar to Tembisa that 50% o

Abstract:

Late antenatal care (ANC) booking remains the trend in most countries in sub- Saharan Africa despite the known benefits of early booking. Infrequent, poor and no antenatal care are among the most frequent patient-related avoidable factors and missed opportunities identified for many cases of maternal death in South Africa. Whilst most country guidelines recommend that a woman initiates antenatal care (ANC) within the first 16 weeks of pregnancy and the Basic Antenatal Care (BANC) approach recommends at least 4 visits during pregnancy, this has not translated into practice amongst women in Sout

This thesis investigates the utilisation of maternal health care in Zambia, where despite being a signatory to the Safe Motherhood Initiative and Millennium Development Goals, which are aimed at improving maternal health, indicators of maternal health continue to perform poorly. The need to understand crucial factors in improving maternal health motivated the current research, especially since there is a dearth of literature in this area in Zambia. The thesis focuses on two aspects of maternal health care: antenatal care (ANC) and facility-based deliveries, to answer two broad questions. First

To date no research has focused on the issue of male participation in PMTCT programmes in Akwa Ibom State, and there is thus a limited understanding of why so few male partners of HIVpositive pregnant women participate in the State's PMTCT programme.

<p> The path to controlling the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and achieving the UNAIDS goals of 90-90-90 is hampered by the need to identifying people living with HIV (PLHIV) through HIV testing and counseling (HTC) services. Improving access to HTC services is important because the early identification of HIV-positive individuals can facilitate their access to and enrollment in life-long HIV prevention and treatment services, which can lead to significant reductions in morbidity and mortality. HTC is also a cornerstone of prevention of mother-to-child (PMTCT) programs and can protect the health of

Approximately 29.1% of South African women of childbearing age tested HIV positive during their first antenatal visit in 2006 (DoH, 2007). This rate of HIV amongst the women of childbearing age reinforces the importance of understanding the management of HIV during pregnancy. During antenatal visits the general health of the woman and her unborn baby is assessed and managed. Management includes antiretroviral therapy to the HIV infected women with a CD4 count below 200 cells/mm3, while women with a CD4 count above 200 cells/mm3 receive a single dose of nevirapine with the onset of labour provi

Pregnancy challenges the health care system in a unique way in that it involves at least two individuals – the woman and the fetus. The death rates of both pregnant women (maternal mortality) and newborns (perinatal mortality) are often used to indicate the quality of care the health system is providing. In terms of maternal and perinatal outcomes South Africa scores poorly compared to other upper-middle income countries (Penn-Kekana & Blaauw, 2002:14). The high stillbirth rate compared to the neonatal death rate reflects poor quality of antenatal care. Maternal and perinatal mortality is reco

Abstract:

Background Major Depressive Disorder is a leading cause of disease burden for women of childbearing age. The prevalence of perinatal depression is significantly higher in women from low and middle income countries than from high income countries. Antenatal depression is associated with low birth weight and preterm delivery. There is also evidence that depression during pregnancy can alter the development of a woman's fetus and her child, with an increased risk for child emotional and behavioral problems. Detection of perinatal depression in primary health care (PHC) is very low. This research

Abstract:

Introduction: A continuous and concerning increase in the number of deliveries at Mowbray Maternity Hospital (MMH) has been noted over the years and now comprises a greater proportion of deliveries compared to deliveries conducted by midwives at midwife obstetric units (MOUs). To date there have been no studies assessing the changes in the pattern of deliveries at MMH. This study describes the antenatal and intrapartum referrals at MMH in 2005 and 2013, to identify any changes and whether or not referrals are appropriate. Method: This is a descriptive study with an analytic component involving

Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Background: Point of Care Testing (POCT) refers to qualitative or quantitative tests done in health facilities where the patient is being attended to (on-site), and not in the conventional hospital laboratory setting. As a consequence of many developing countries not having access to conventional laboratory services (with trained laboratory personnel), diagnostic testing often relies on the availability of valid POC tests. All pregnant women attending antenatal care clinics in the Sedibeng District Primary Health Care (PHC) centres should be screened for syphili
