The study recommends improving access to and quality of ANC services to reduce maternal and neonatal complications. Movement toward the WHO recommendation of at least eight contacts could further reduce adverse outcomes. Long travel distances can influence whether mothers seek obstetric consultation. ANC provides risk assessment, prevention and treatment, health promotion, early complication identification and referral linkage. Essential ANC services tracked in follow-up included supplementation, vaccination, monitoring, screening and counselling.
