Only two out of five women received respectful maternity care during childbirth. Completed secondary education, having antenatal care follow-up, pregnancy intended/wanted, daytime delivery, and cesarean section delivery were identified factors. Therefore, giving emphasis to creating awareness of care providers on the standards and categories of respectful maternity care, improving care provider-client discussion, monitoring, and reinforcing accountability mechanisms for health workers to improve respectful maternity care during labor and childbirth were recommended.
