Abstract:
The Ethiopian health extension programme (HEP) provides primary health care services for the community through health extension workers (HEWs) based in health posts (HPs) at the community level. HEWs have extensive roles in providing maternal health care, including uncomplicated delivery services and facilitation of referrals. Despite this, the prevalence of home delivery is high and consequently, the maternal mortality rate is also high. This review analysed factors that hinder and facilitate HEP's contribution to promoting institutional delivery
