Around $3.5 trillion globally and up to $2.78 billion in Ethiopia, losses are reported annually due to malnutrition. Even if in Ethiopia nutrition services are delivered free of charge, specific public health programs may start to charge users of services that include maternal and child health services. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess mothers' willingness to pay an out-of-pocket payment for maternal and child nutritional services and associated factors in Northwest Ethiopia.
