This review informed by recent development in maternal and newborn health was conducted to determine how the sociocultural factors have contributed to maternal health outcomes in Nigeria. It involved search of current and recent literature and identified twenty two (22) articles, the contents read and organized into themes - Gender and maternal health, sociocultural determinants and maternal health outcomes.
