Maternity Waiting Homes (MWHs) are structures usually located close to health facilities able to provide emergency obstetric care. Women can decide to be hosted in MWHs and when labour begins they move to the health facility for the delivery. Although the effectiveness of MWHs is debated, literature shows increasing findings about their importance. Aim of the study is to describe a one-year activity of a MWH located in Angola.

Abstract

Maternity Waiting Homes (MWHs) are structures usually located close to health facilities able to provide emergency obstetric care. Women can decide to be hosted in MWHs and when labour begins they move to the health facility for the delivery. Although the effectiveness of MWHs is debated, literature shows increasing findings about their importance. Aim of the study is to describe a one-year activity of a MWH located in Angola.
