This new publication of thelatest paper on maternal health in PLOS ONE entitled: "Impact of financial risk protection strategies on health outcomes and economic resilience: A study in underserved communities" analyzed over 38,000 antenatal ultrasounds conducted by Doctors for Madagascar, revealing important insights into #maternal_health care access and its challenges in rural and low-resource settings. Despite the critical need for early care, most women only accessed ultrasounds in their third trimester, highlighting a significant gap compared to World Health Organization recommendations for first-trimester screenings. This research underscores the importance of further studies to understand delayed care-seeking behaviors and optimize equity in health service delivery for vulnerable populations.
