Mst Bithi AkterAnis MahmudMd Rezaul KarimPublished in: Health services research and managerial epidemiology (2023)
This study observed that education, wealth index, birth order of children, and place of residence are associated with utilization of ANC visits and significantly influence maternal mortality. These determinations can help healthcare programmers and policymakers to take appropriate policies and programs for complete antennal care visits among pregnant women in Bangladesh. In order to increase the number of ANC visits among women, it is necessary to establish a mutually coordinated and trusting relationship between the government, non-governmental organizations and NGOs.
