Urban Cairo Maternal Health and Nutrition Programmes: Evaluation of Community-Based Healthcare Models
Abstract
Urban maternal health and nutrition programmes in Cairo are critical for improving women's well-being and child development outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys to assess programme implementation and participant feedback. Community engagement levels were notably high, with over 80% of participants indicating satisfaction; however, significant disparities in service accessibility existed across different socio-economic groups.

Priority should be given to enhancing outreach efforts and ensuring equitable access to services for all urban residents.
