Why are women dying when they reach hospital on time? A systematic review of the 'third delay'. by Hannah E Knight, Alice Self, Stephen H Kennedy

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>This review highlights how a focus on patient-side delays in the decision to seek care can conceal the fact that many health facilities in the developing world are still chronically under-resourced and unable to cope effectively with serious obstetric complications. We stress the importance of addressing supply-side barriers alongside demand-side factors if further reductions in maternal mortality are to be achieved.…”
