Abstract

Background: Institutional delivery has a great role in reducing maternal and child mortality. Yet maternal mortality remains a major challenge to health system worldwide. And the Maternal mortality rate in Ethiopia continues to be an acceptable high level. The main aim of this study is to assess the level of access to health institution for maternal delivery and identify the underlying reasons. Methods: We have use community based cross sectional study design, data was collected using structured interview from mothers who have at least one delivery with the last five years. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS, descriptive statistics were performed results are presented in terms of Frequency and percentage. Result: Majority 179(75.8%) were in an age range of 18 – 35 years. Majority 208(88.1%) of our study subjects were attended antenatal care (ANC) follow up and majority of them 160(77.3%), 38(18.4%) and have followed ANC four times throughout their last pregnancy. Out of 208 respondents attended ANC follow up, 185(89.4%) have received all the necessary in formations, advice on birth preparedness and complication readiness. Of those who have no ANC follow up 28 (11.9%) ,half of them were due to reason that they have no any problem in their pregnancy and the other are due to too far distance home to health facility 5( 17.8)%. Majority, 201(85.2%) were delivered at health institution. The most common reasons for home delivery were normal previous delivery, labor at night, comfort at home, unwelcoming approaches of health workers. Conclusion: Institutional delivery coverage of the study area is good which 85.1% in the last five years. The ANC coverage 88.1% of the area is not proportional with the institutional delivery 85.1% which indicates that there is a gap in health education during ANC follow up especially about birth preparedness and complication readiness.
