dc.description.abstractThree key themes emerged from this research in relation to health care access by illiterate women who were pregnant: 1) they could not read their health care cards or public health messaging; 2) they spoke the local language, not Swahili, the language of care providers; 3) they endeavour to develop coping strategies to overcome these obstacles. Additionally, health care workers were unaware of those who are illiterate. This study explores the experiences related to care-seeking by illiterate, pregnant women in rural Tanzania. In 2017, 810 women died every day from pregnancy or childbirth related complications, most commonly in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries.en
