Most of the pregnancies result in normal birth but few may develop unpredicted complications. These complications can be prevented by using preventive strategies such as using m-Health interventions to educate the mothers on different aspects of antenatal care such as antenatal checkups, antenatal advice, birth preparedness and complication readiness, skilled birth attendant, early detection of risk, timely management of obstetrics complications and postnatal care. Methods: Peer-reviewed papers are included to assess the use of m-health applications that address maternal health issues. Randomised controlled trials, cluster-randomised trials, quantitative or mixed-methods papers which are published between January 2014 to May 2020 were included in this review. Peer-reviewed papers were identified using electronic databases via a combination of search terms. 11 relevant articles were identified. m-Health interventions were found useful, an effective and acceptable tools for pregnant/new mothers and community health care providers. Conclusion: m-Health intervention is an innovative strategy that may contribute to decreasing maternal and neonatal morbidities and mortalities and in developing countries, these strategies have proven to be more effective where resources are limited.&#13;
