Access to EmOC can be measured using several indicators, including:
- Availability of Services: The number of facilities offering EmOC services per population. - Utilization Rates: The proportion of pregnant women utilizing EmOC services. - Quality of Care: Clinical outcomes and adherence to standard treatment protocols. - Timeliness: The time taken to reach and receive EmOC services.
Epidemiological studies often employ both quantitative and qualitative methods to assess these indicators and provide a comprehensive understanding of access to EmOC.
