Methods We conducted a cross-sectional mixed study in the Kaya health district in Burkina Faso based on two data collection exercises conducted between December 2012 and May 2013. A household survey of 757 mothers in their first year after delivery was processed. It was complemented with a qualitative analysis using in-depth interviews with key informants, focus group discussions with mothers, and participant observation. Results Postpartum services showed serious weaknesses. Overall, 52% (n=384) of mothers did not receive any maternal postpartum care; however among them, 47% (n= 349) received infant postpartum care. Conclusion We suggest the integration of maternal postpartum care in RMNCH services as a key step to improving postpartum care. The intervention would require the overcoming of challenges related to the quality and cost of services, and to reaching the poor populations with low education and a high parity. date: 2016-11 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier id_number: doi:10.1016/j.ijgo.2016.08.005 creators_browse_id: 110 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics volume: 135 number: Supp 1 pagerange: S20-S26 refereed: TRUE issn: 0020-7292 projects: Missed Opportunities in Maternal and Infant Health: reducing maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity in the year after childbirth through combined facility- and community-based interventions (MOMI, FP7 265448) coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: yes fp7_project_id: info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/265448/EU/Missed Opportunities in Maternal and Infant Health: reducing maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity in the year after childbirth through combined facility- and community-based interventions/MOMI fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article access_rights: info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess citation: Yugbaré Belemsaga, D., Bado, A., Goujon, A.
