INTRODUCTION: In sub-Saharan Africa, access to care during pregnancy and child birth is an abiding challenge for many women. Many women face socioeconomic, cultural, and physical barriers while attempting to access healthcare facilities during pregnancy. These barriers often result in women accessing healthcare facilities after life-threatening complications develop, ultimately leading to high rates of maternal mortality. In Nigeria, several locally endemic diseases, such as malaria and HIV, impinge on population health. Having access to care during pregnancy provides an opportunity for prompt diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of common endemic disease. This dissertation focused on access to care during pregnancy in Nigeria by using two indicators: malaria parasitemia and Cesarean-section (CS). Therefore, this dissertation had two overarching goals. The first was to estimate the prevalence of malaria parasitemia during pregnancy and to determine maternal risk factors associated with high malaria parasitemia in Enugu State, Nigeria. The second was to establish the incidence of CS and to determine the socioeconomic and medical risk factors that are associated with having a CS among women in Enugu State, as well as in Nigeria as a whole.
