Antenatal Care

High-quality antenatal or prenatal care (ANC) is an essential component of the continuum of reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health care. During the critical prenatal period, health care providers can educate women about healthy pregnancy behaviors, danger signs of complications, breastfeeding and family planning; identify and treat pregnancy-related conditions such as pre-eclampsia / eclampsia; refer mothers to specialized care if necessary; encourage the use of a skilled birth attendant; and minimize the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. For many women around the world, a prenatal care visit is their first adult contact with the health system, serving as a gateway to health services during and after maternity care. In addition to diagnosing and managing complications related to pregnancy, the ANC offers the possibility of detecting and treating other chronic conditions and noncommunicable diseases. The most recent guidelines from the World Health Organization recommend that women participate in 8 antenatal care visits.
