Socio-economic inequality in maternal health care utilization in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Togo.

The results suggest that inequality in MHC utilization during pregnancy and delivery may be effectively reduced by improving the relevant strategies, in particular, those targeted at reducing poverty and illiteracy. School curricula need to be comprehensively addressed for ensuring essential sexual and reproductive education. Our results suggest that the use of MHC can be increased by broadening health insurance to include exemptions for poor and rural households.
