Abstract

This study examines the socioeconomic determinants of maternal and child healthcare utilization and its impact on infant survival in Kijumo Village, Uganda. Through a survey of 70 mothers, data was collected on demographic characteristics, healthcare service utilization, and infant survival. Regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between socioeconomic factors, healthcare utilization, and infant survival. Results indicate a significant association between maternal education, household wealth, and infant survival. Moreover, healthcare service utilization was influenced by factors such as distance to healthcare centers and economic constraints. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to improve healthcare access and utilization in underserved communities like Kijumo Village. Keywords: Maternal and child healthcare, healthcare utilization, socioeconomic determinants and infant survival.
