Still, the ability to give good-quality facility-based care and to provide quality care for cesarean delivery is one important component of providing lifesaving services for women and newborns.
It is also a challenge to have functioning good quality EmOC facilities close to the community, when communities live in contexts of dire poverty with little basic infrastructure (to support EmOC).
Further, they preferred good quality health facility infrastructure and equipment to basic health facility infrastructure (β = 1.46, P < 0.01), followed by superior (β = 1.00, P < 0.01) and basic (β = 0.89, P < 0.01) housing allowances and then a 10% salary increase (β = 0.39, P < 0.01).
Among nursing students, one respondent demonstrated a dominant preference for good quality health facility infrastructure and equipment.
Specifically, pharmacy students valued a 500,000 USh increase in salary slightly more than good quality health facility infrastructure and equipment (β 1.02 and β 0.85, respectively).
Specifically, laboratory students valued a 500,000 USh increase in salary slightly less than good quality health facility infrastructure and equipment (β 1.61 and β 1.72, respectively).
Medical students had high preference for tuition for future schooling (β 1.34, P < 0.01) and good quality health facility infrastructure and equipment (β 0.85, P < 0.01) (Table 3).
Specifically, medical students valued a 500,000 USh increase in salary approximately as much as good quality health facility infrastructure and equipment (β 0.93 and β 0.85, respectively).
Nursing students had high preference for good quality health facility infrastructure and equipment (β 1.08, P < 0.01) and a supportive manager (β 0.83, P < 0.01) (Table 4).
Laboratory students had high preference for tuition for future schooling (β 1.45, P < 0.01) and good quality health facility infrastructure and equipment (β 1.72, P < 0.01) (Table 6).
