EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
According to Omoleke, Taleat (2017), pregnancy and childbirth-related conditions make up almost 45 percent of hospitalizations in the Nigeria with millions of births annually. In recent years, there have been major advances in technology as well as updated guidelines for prenatal care and childbirth such as high resolution sonograms, in-utero surgery, new prenatal and newborn screenings, and growing rates of c-sections, all of which have significant cost implications. While some research has shown that maternity care can result in sizable out-of-pocket costs for families, there is very little in the way of new data that has been collected or published on the costs of having a baby.
The costs of having a baby are not limited to the hospitalization at the time of delivery. Much of the total cost of having a baby pertains to services provided outside the hospital setting including out-patient prenatal care services in the nine months preceding delivery and post-partum care services in the first few months following delivery. To estimate these costs, inpatient and outpatient utilization and expenditure data must be analyzed throughout pregnancy and following birth (Omoleke, Taleat 2017).
