Abstract

Community-based child health clinics have been established as a critical strategy to reduce maternal mortality rates in South Africa. The research employs a survey methodology with structured questionnaires administered to healthcare providers and community members to gather data on clinic usage and outcomes. Community-based child health clinics have significantly reduced maternal mortality by 20% in areas served, particularly among pregnant women who attended regular check-ups. The findings suggest that the establishment of these clinics has been effective in improving maternal health outcomes. Further implementation and expansion of community-based child health clinics are recommended to achieve broader coverage and impact.
