Mobile Health Clinics in Postpartum Care: A One-Year Follow-Up Among Rural Ugandan Women
Abstract
Postpartum care is crucial for maternal and infant health in rural Uganda, where access to healthcare facilities can be limited. A total of 200 women participated in the MHC intervention, with data collected through questionnaires and biometric measurements. Among participants, 85% reported improvements in maternal health indicators at follow-up compared to baseline levels. Mobile health clinics have demonstrated effectiveness in improving postpartum care outcomes among rural Ugandan women. Further research should explore long-term effects and scalability of MHC interventions. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
