Between April,2016 to March 2017, i extensively reviewed existing studies reviews, reports and guidelines on maternal/patient experience, on maternal health and health utilization and quality of care. I studied methodology details of previous “Listening to mothers’ surveys “(LTM) in USA, Canada and Japan. Methodology (study site and sampling of participants) and survey tool (translation of questionnaire of LTM, USA) of the current survey has been developed. To enhance my knowledge on methodology and analysis of the survey, I attend a seminar and had meeting with experts for consultation. Qualitative study of small group of women was conducted to explore their experiences pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and health support and care.
