Obstetric Violence (OBV) in Kenya continues to have a negative impact on women’s health and dignity during childbirth.
OBV are violations experienced by women during labour, childbirth, and postnatal care.
A report by Gama Africa Foundation shows there are critical gaps in maternal healthcare systems.
It calls for immediate interventions to ensure women receive dignified care.
The report identifies key factors contributing to this crisis, including limited civic education and insufficient training for healthcare providers.
