This cross sectional study was conducted along a period of six months to assess the quality of maternal health services provided by primary health care (P.H.C) facilities at galyobia Governorate and to compare be-tween the developed and the undeveloped facilities. All PHC facilities pro-viding maternal health services in two convenient districts (Benha and kafr Shaker) in Qalyobia Governorate. were chosen to carry out the study. The quality was assessed by fulfillment of a standardized check list rec-ommended by Ministry Of Health & Population (1140HP) guided with its categories, criteria and standards. Beside the assessment of the quality of the maternal health services (antenatal, natal and postnatal services) a number of general aspects have to be assessed as they are essential for the provision of any services: general resources. unit administration and lab. services. This study revealed that the majority at` the PliC facilities at Bertha and Kafr Shoker districts are developed ores and most of these fa-cilities are rural ones. The majority of the developed facilities (80.77%) have fair and good Quality index (Q.I) grade of the general resources while the majority (73.33%) of the undeveloped facilities have poor Q.I. grade with statistically significant difference(p< 0.05). The majority (88.46%) of the developed PHC facilities and all the undeveloped facilities have poor gi grade of unit administration and lab. services with statisti. catty non sign cant difference.
