We conducted one focus group discussion with district officials and four with mothers of newborns and children under 5 years old.
In-depth interview participants included retail drug shop dispensers (36), community health workers (45), and health facility staff members (15). The study was conducted in the Kibaha district, where we applied qualitative approaches with in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. This study explored barriers, successes, and promising approaches to increasing timely access to care by linking the three levels of health care provision. An intervention brought together community health workers, health facility staff, and accredited drug dispensing outlet (ADDO) dispensers to improve maternal and newborn health through a mechanism of collaboration and referral. In Tanzania, progress toward achieving the 2015 Millennium Development Goals for maternal and newborn health was slow.
