AB  - Globally 529,000 women die every year due to harmful consequences of childbirth. 
      This study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators that influence the 
      provision of quality care during labour at maternity centres in Karachi, 
      Pakistan. The qualitative exploratory study design was used to study such factors 
      from public and private maternity health facilities of Karachi, Pakistan. A total 
      of 12 in-depth interviews were conducted through purposive sampling by using 
      validated semi-structured interview guide. Data was analysed using content 
      analysis manually. Among major barriers, unhygienic environment, lack of basic 
      equipment, supplies and medicine, unprofessional attitude of staff, physical 
      infrastructre and shotrage of staff were explored. Among facilitators, caring and 
      supportive attitude of healthcare personnel during labour were identified. These 
      identified determinants would guide policy-makers, Maternal, Newborn and Child 
      Health (MNCH) planners and health managers to take appropriate actions to enhance 
      the quality of maternal care which will subsequently result in considerable 
      reduction in maternal mortalities.
