Overview

Systematic review shows mHealth strategies improve antenatal care uptake in rural northern Nigeria, suggesting potential benefits for maternal health outcomes.

Key Points

  • mHealth interventions significantly enhance antenatal care uptake and skilled birth attendance in rural northern Nigeria, addressing a critical health gap.
  • Findings indicate that SMS-based solutions increased ANC attendance by 67% and improved postnatal care utilization, highlighting their effectiveness.
  • This systematic review analyzed 50 studies with over 85,000 participants, providing strong evidence for the integration of digital health strategies into maternal health policies.
  • Despite positive outcomes, challenges like digital illiteracy and poor infrastructure highlight the need for tailored approaches in rural settings.
