Abstract

This study aimed to explore the association of international remittance with satisfaction and utilization of maternal health services in Nepal. This is a secondary analysis based on two prospective cohort studies. Regression analyses were carried out to assess the association. Women from remittance‐receiving households had 1.27 higher odds of receiving timely initiation of first ANC visit (aOR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.35). The association between remittance‐receiving household income and overall satisfaction with maternal health services (aOR = 0.97; 95% CI: 0.91, 1.02) and receiving four or more ANC visits (aOR = 0.92; 95% CI: 0.85, 1.00) was not significant.
