Health Policy Plan

Article Synopsis
- Uganda's maternal mortality ratio has decreased over the last 20 years, yet it still falls short of the 75% reduction goal set for 2015.
- A voucher scheme initiated in 2010, providing assistance for delivery services and transportation in rural areas, led to a significant increase in institutional deliveries and a reduction in maternal deaths.
- The analysis shows that the voucher scheme is cost-effective, costing $302 per disability-adjusted life year (DALY) and $20,756 per death averted, suggesting that demand-side financing can effectively improve maternal health outcomes.
