Despite progress in reducing global maternal mortality in recent decades, low- and lower- middle- income countries (LLMICs) continue to face major challenges. To reduce preventable maternal deaths, the WHO recommends emergency obstetric care (EmOC) in health facilities (HFs). However, up- to- date multi- country evidence on availability and readiness in LLMICs remains very limited. Hence, we analysed EmOC service availability and readiness in HFs across eight LLMICs.
