Key Recommendations

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended increasing antenatal care (ANC) visits from four to eight to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality 1.
  • Group antenatal care (gANC) may lead to average net cost-savings of €67 per participant compared to individual care, due to increased breastfeeding rates, reduced prevalence of pregnancy-induced hypertension, and less postpartum smoking 2.
  • Socioeconomic factors such as occupation, wealth index, and marital status are key determinants of ANC uptake and timely care, favoring higher wealth, younger age, marriage, and media access 1.
  • Challenges to ANC attendance include financial constraints, cultural beliefs, gendered decision-making, and geographical barriers 1.
