dc.description.abstractThis paper investigates whether new health facilities affect maternal care use, maternal/child health, and travel patterns to facilities. Community- and mother-level fixed effects models are applied to decade-long panel data from Uganda. The results show that the openings of large facilities increase delivery at formal facilities, while new clinics increase regular antenatal care usage. The first facility of each type drives these results, and the impact of a large facility was found only in areas that initially had clinics. These results imply that clinics link mothers with the national health system and underscore the importance of making health facilities accessible.
