Magnitude and determinants for place of postnatal care utilization among mothers who delivered at home in Ethiopia: a multinomial analysis from the 2016 Ethiopian demographic health survey.

Introduction: Above half of mothers in Ethiopia give birth at home.

However, evidence on utilization of postnatal care and location of service among mothers who delivered at home in Ethiopia is insufficiently documented.
