The qualitative component of the study will involve the use of FGD with pregnant women and mothers of neonates to assess their perceptions of the quality of maternity care services in their communities. In-depth interviews with health care providers providing maternity care services and drug sellers will be conducted to explore their perceptions on the quality of maternity care services and fever care seeking patterns of pregnant women in the study area. Illness narratives will be collected from pregnant women on their care seeking options and fever prevention strategies and practices during pregnancy.
