First, second and third maternal delays were higher in cases than controls. 'Delay in reaching health facility' was determinant for unfavourable newborn outcome in this study. However, 'delay in decision-making to seek care' and 'delay in receiving care' were not significantly associated with new born outcome. Government should work to improve labouring mother transportation.
