The main objective of the study was to verify the effect of the free maternal care policy on maternal
health in the New Juaben Municipality, Ghana. The population for the study encompassed women of
the child bearing age (10-49) in the New Juaben Municipality. Both primary and secondary sources
of data were employed for this study. Purposive and accidental sampling procedures were used to
select the respondents. The sample size was two hundred (200). This study used trend analysis as its
main approach of analyzing the available data. The findings show that antenatal attendance has
been increasing over the years. This is attributed to the introduction of the free maternal health
policy. However, quality of care remains a problem due to the enormous attendance. It was also
recommended that there is still a great need to introduce other measures to reduce maternal
mortality in the municipality. It was also recommended that quality of care must be addressed and
also more efforts should be made in the services that have provided to the patients. It was
concluded that, although the policy has not eradicated maternal mortality completely yet it has
contributed to its significant reduction in the region.
