Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the quality and completeness of antenatal care (ANC) services received by pregnant women in Nigeria, focusing on the specific components offered rather than just the frequency of visits.
- Utilizing data from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey, it analyzed responses from 11,867 women about various ANC components, such as blood pressure checks, tetanus injections, and educational counseling.
- Findings indicate a low overall prevalence of receiving all recommended ANC components (5%), with significant variations by state and education level, highlighting inequalities in access to comprehensive care.
Objectives: To assess the compliance of WHO guidelines on the timeliness of antenatal care (ANC) initiation in Nigeria and its associated factors and to provide subcountry analysis of disparities in the timing of the first ANC in Nigeria.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: Nationally representative data of most recent pregnancies between 2013 and 2018 in Nigeria.
Background: Nigeria has unimpressive maternal and child health indicators. Compliance with the WHO guidelines on the minimum number of antenatal care (ANC) contacts could improve these indicators. We assessed the compliance with WHO recommended standards on ANC contacts in Nigeria and identify the associated factors.
