Abstract : Maternal and child health remains a central concern in global health policy given its direct linkage to Sustainable Development Goal 3. Maternal and child healthcare services are essential for promoting the health and wellbeing of women and children and for reducing preventable maternal and child morbidity and mortality. Despite the availability of these services, variations in utilization persist among women of reproductive age. The study determined the perception and utilization of maternal and child healthcare services in selected health facilities in Lagos State, Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was adopted for the study which was among women of reproductive age attending selected health facilities in Lagos State. A total of 400 questionnaires were administered to eligible respondents, of which 396 were successfully retrieved.

Keywords : Maternal and Child Healthcare Services, Perception, Women of Reproductive Age, Utilization.
