The general problem of this research study was women of childbearing years who do not use available skilled prenatal care have increased maternal and infant mortality, morbidity, and other negative complications. The specific problem was despite available skilled prenatal services, women of reproductive years in Nzam and Otuocha rural communities do not take advantage of such services and choose to have their babies at home with midwives resulting in infant mortality and other complications. Discussing the problems was undertaken by answering the primary research question Why do females of childbearing age in Nzam and Otuocha choose to not utilize the expert available prenatal care? Addressing the problems identified was vital to making suggestions for improving access to skilled prenatal care. The identified research method for the study was a qualitative explanatory case study and involved a purposive sampling and data collection through semi-structured open-ended interviews and documental publicly available records related to the study topic. The sample size for the study consisted of 23 females of childbearing years between the ages of 18 and 40 years and excluded females in the same age range who were pregnant at the time of the study. Factors contributing to nonutilization of care as identified in this study included poverty, lack of access to transportation, ignorance, education, and living in the rural communities. A vital recommendation for practitioners and government officials was to embark on health education of residents to ensure increased access to skilled care.
