The Importance of Quality Antenatal Care in Improving Maternal and Infant Health
- Bagikan:
Antenatal care (ANC) is a key intervention to improve the health of pregnant
women and their infants. The quality of ANC not only involves the early detection of
pregnancy complications but also includes preventive measures, nutritional counseling,
maternal mental health support, and the promotion of safe delivery. Evidence shows that
high-quality ANC reduces maternal mortality (MMR) and infant mortality (IMR), as well as
prevents preterm birth, low birth weight (LBW), and stunting. This narrative review
highlights that adherence to the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of a minimum
of eight ANC visits during pregnancy significantly contributes to better maternal and infant
outcomes. Moreover, the quality of interactions between health providers and mothers,
including comprehensive information sharing, is a critical determinant of ANC effectiveness.
Therefore, improving the quality of antenatal care should be a priority in health policies,
supported by competent health professionals, equitable access to services, and stronger
community awareness of the importance of regular pregnancy check-ups.
