Non-booking for antenatal care and risks for vertical HIV transmission among women in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe: a cross-sectional study.
Patricia MandimaNikki SchaayBernard NgaraMartina LembaniPublished in: BMC pregnancy and childbirth (2022)
The proportion of women not booked for ANC of 19% was unexpectedly high. With 3% of pregnant women in Chitungwiza having both HIV and no access to ANC, the risk for vertical HIV transmission remains. More need to be done to improve ANC access, targeting teenage mothers and those living with HIV who are more less likely to access ANC.
