ABSTRACT:
Malnutrition is one of the common global health challenges that may influence deaths in developing countries, especially among pregnant women and children under 5 years. This paper looks into the influence of malnutrition on maternal mortality. A cross-sectional survey was adopted as the research design, and both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from the respondents. The study was guided by gender equity theory. The study findings indicated that majority of the pregnant women dieting and nutritional intake were poor. Also, the study found some intermediary factors in addiction to malnutrition that influenced maternal health and maternal mortality. These factors include age, and occupation among others. The paper recommends that government should introduce a policy on pre-marital health education. Moreso, drugs or supplements containing the required quantity of protein, vegetables, and fruits should be made available to pregnant women, during the first and second trimester of pregnancy.
