摘要：Background To maximise the potential benefits of maternity care ser- vices, pregnant women need to be able to physically get to health fa- cilities in a timely manner. In most of sub–Saharan Africa, transport represents a major practical barrier. Here we evaluate the extent to which an innovative national ambulance service in Ethiopia, togeth- er with mobile phones, may have been successful in averting preg- nancy–related deaths.
