It ensures safe birth, reduces both actual and potential complications, and decreases maternal and newborn death.

We investigated the prevalence and determinants of home delivery in three districts in Sidama administration, Southern Ethiopia.<h4>Methods</h4>Between 15-29 October 2018, a cross sectional survey of 507 women who gave birth within the past 12 months was conducted using multi-stage sampling. Sociodemographic and childbirth related data were collected using structured, interviewer administered tools. Univariate and backward stepwise multivariate logistic regression models were run to assess independent predictors of home delivery.<h4>Results</h4>The response rate was 97.6% (495).
