<p>The key element of human rights and the road to equity and dignity of women and children is the quality of care received. The provision of maternal health care is based on quality during pregnancy, and distinctly forty-eight hours after delivery, is an important contribution to saving women’s lives and preventing disabilities (Quah, 2016). Thus, the understanding of women's experiences and expectations through the continuum of prenatal care, delivery care and postnatal care is important for assessing the quality of maternal health care and the determination of problem areas requiring improvement. Women's satisfaction reflects women's judgment of various aspects of maternal health care, including organizational and interpersonal aspects. Multiple linear regression was used (IBM SPSS v.25) to test the main hypotheses for the present study. The ordinal regression was used to predict the value of a result variable (dependent variable) based on the value of two or more prediction variables (independent variables). This study identifies the relationship between maternal health services (prenatal & diagnostic care, delivery care and postnatal care) and women's satisfaction with the moderating role of doctor's behavior. The study finally determined the positive impact of health care services on women's satisfaction. The results also show that the doctor's behavior in health care services affect women's satisfaction and so, the alternate hypotheses are accepted. In this study, physicians were encouraged to give pregnant women thorough inspection and examination, treat them with courtesy and respect. The study also showed that, the government should focus on hiring additional employees to overcome workload.</p>

Introduction: Uganda is one of the largest refugee-hosting nations in the world, with the majority of the refugees having fled South Sudan. In the early 2000's the local government and refugee health systems were merged to create a more equal and integrated system for refugees and the host population. Our aim is to investigate whether mothers from the two groups experience the same access to and quality of maternal health services, and whether refugee- and host-community mothers perceive the maternal health services differently.Methods: In November–December 2019, we conducted a household survey of 1,004 Ugandan nationals and South Sudanese refugee mothers aged 15–49 in the West Nile region covering the districts of Arua, Yumbe, and Adjumani, and elicited information on access to maternal health care services, perceptions of the quality of services, and feelings of discrimination. The data was then analyzed using Ordinary Least Squares and logistic regression.Results: Our analyses do not reveal large differences between refugees and the host community in terms of access to and the quality of maternal health services. Results from bivariate models indicate that refugee mothers are 6% points less likely to receive antenatal care (p-value &lt; 0.05) but are 8% points more likely to give birth at a health facility (p-value &lt; 0.05). Refugee mothers are generally less satisfied with how they were treated during antenatal care (0.132 lower average value on a Likert scale, p-value &lt; 0.01). Refugee mothers are also 4% points more likely to feel discriminated against during ANC compared to their counterparts in the host community (p-value &lt; 0.05).Discussion: The way women feel treated at the health facility during maternal health care is an important aspect of quality care. While there seems to be equal access to resources between refugees and host community mothers in Northern Uganda in terms of access to and quality of care, there is still a discrepancy between the two groups in terms of how the women feel treated. Policymakers and practitioners in the health sector should pay attention to these perceived inequalities between refugees and women from the host communities to ensure equally inclusive treatment across groups.
