Abstract
The new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG3) for 2030 aim to promote excellent health and well-being, as well as reduce mother and infant mortality, by ensuring equal access to reproductive and child healthcare services. Compromises in access to reproductive and child healthcare services in SubSaharan Africa contribute to a rise in maternal and newborn mortality. A desk study was conducted to look into barriers to access and utilization of reproductive and child healthcare services in Sub-Saharan Africa, from the perspectives of both community people and health workers. According to the findings, the most significant hurdles to access and usage of reproductive and child healthcare services are transportation barriers to health facilities, economic considerations, and cultural views, as well as a lack of family support and poor care quality. More study is needed to aid policymakers in taking multi-sectoral action to provide equitable access to reproductive and child healthcare services in line with SDG3 by 2030.
