This study looked at the challenges health workers (particularly village health workers) face in providing maternal care in the mountainous region of Cao Bang, Vietnam. Issues included a lack of skilled workers, poor use of resources, low commitment to work, and strong traditional beliefs that hinder care. To improve maternal health services in these remote areas, future programs should establish clear policies and responsibilities for health workers.
