Most African countries have poor maternal and reproductive health outcomes. This is due, in part, to many factors such as accessibility issues, which hinder women in developing countries from using life-saving maternal and reproductive health services. Therefore, this study considered two main objectives: (i) to examine prevalence of delivery care services in Sierra Leone; and (ii) to identify sociodemographic factors associated with the use of the aforementioned health services. ⋯ Use of delivery care services remains low in Sierra Leone. It is possible that the introduction of the Free Healthcare Initiative played a vital role in increasing the use of these services. Further policy debates are needed to ensure universal coverage.
