Abstract:
Maternal death is in the majority of cases preventable by quality care around birth. Referral of risk pregnancies is a strategy to support appropriate care around birth. This strategy relies on women, who experience a risk pregnancy, to be compliant to referral and give birth at such facilities. However, in the context of MM, non-compliance to referral is often seen. This non-compliance could lead to complex deliveries in an environment not capable of managing those deliveries and death of mother or child is seen. The decision-making process in referral is complex and not well studied. Therefore factors of influence on this process remain unknown. The aim of this study is to determine factors of influence on the decision-making process in referral of risk pregnancy in the interior of Suriname to suggest interventions that contribute to improved referral policies and practices.
