ABSTRACT
We sought to determine the spatial variation in the use of skilled providers during deliveries across Kenya and the relationship between distance to health facilities and the use of skilled delivery. We found that women who resided 5 km or less from the nearest health facility were more likely to use skilled care at delivery than women residing at greater distances, although the pattern of choice of health facility level for delivery differed at this distance. Outreach maternity services are urgently required in counties with remote communities in order to improve access to skilled attendants during deliveries in these areas.
