Researcher in Midwifery-led Maternal and Neonatal Care Inequalities

This project examines inequalities in access to and quality of maternity care among pregnant women in the Lombardy Region, focusing on social determinants of health. Employing a mixed-methods approach—including regional surveys, qualitative interviews, and participatory workshops—the study collects data from maternity care facilities, women, and healthcare professionals. The goal is to develop monitoring tools to identify factors linked to health outcomes and to inform policies that promote equity in maternal and infant healthcare.
