The coverage of PNC service utilization in the study area was extremely low. Therefore, government and health care departments should pay special attention to uneducated women, women in rural areas, and women who are unemployed, are not exposed to mass media, and do not have access to transportation to improve PNC service utilization. Furthermore, programs educating mothers on the benefits of antenatal checkups and safer places of childbirth should be considered to increase PNC service utilization.
