Abstract

This article review explains the challenges and barriers to Facility-based Respectful Maternity Care worldwide. Although respectful maternity care (RMC) is an important component of quality care, many factors act as barriers to the same. However, it is considered a critical standard of care for women and newborns. Respectful maternity care means care organized and provided to all women that preserve their dignity, privacy, and confidentiality, ensures freedom from harm and abuse, and enables informed choice and ongoing support during labor and delivery (WHO 2018).
