Maternity Waiting Home (MWH) is a structure that is located within easy reach of a health facility where high or low-risk pregnant women who are at term await labour and delivery. The major hypothesis for introduction of MWHs is that deliveries by skilled birth attendants would increase consequently reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. This study analysed the quality of maternal care through maternity waiting homes (MWHs) in Chitipa District following Donabedia's Structure Process and Outcome (SPO) model which provided guidance on the areas to be analysed when looking at quality of maternal care in MWHs.
