Abstract

Background: Community-based initiatives are a worldwide policy that guarantees that key health services are available and accessible closer to the community. CHWs are an important element of healthcare services in Rwanda. Community health workers integrate individuals of their communities to provide preventive, habitual, and emergency maternity healthcare requirements. Maternal health is still a challenge to the achievement of SDGs by 2030 in the health-care sector compared with the effort provided by CHWs. The aim of study was to assess the influence of community health workers' role on uptake of maternal health services in Musanze District.
