Quality of Antenatal Care Provided by Nurse Midwives in an Urban Health Centre with Regard to Low-Risk Antenatal Mothers.

Background: India contributes to 19% of the global maternal deaths. Good quality antenatal care can prevent maternal deaths by early detection of complications and maintaining maternal health. There are few studies documenting quality of antenatal care in India.

Satisfaction of antenatal mothers with the care provided by nurse-midwives in an urban secondary care unit.
