Abstract:

Introduction: Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Indonesia has decreased over the last fifteen years, but still left behind from other South-East Asia countries. One of the efforts to reduce IMR is antenatal care. However, there are disparity of antenatal care coverage between rural and urban area. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of antenatal care on infant mortality in rural district in Indonesia. Methods: The quantitative study used cross-sectional secondary data from Indonesia Demographic Health Survey 2017 with a total sample of 7.551 most recent born infant in

Abstract:

Introduction Despite progress in recent years, full antenatal care utilization in India continues to be relatively low and inequitable, particularly between states and districts. In 2015–2016, for example, only 51% of women aged 15–49 in India attended antenatal care at least four times during pregnancy. Using data from the fifth iteration of India’s National Family Health Survey, our study aims to explore factors related to the underutilization of antenatal care in India.

AbstractAntenatal care in Denmark is shared between general practitioners, midwives, and hospital departments. A minimum of 9 visits is officially recommended for all pregnant women. In 1987, 80% made 10 or more visits. An inadequate number of visits in relation to recommendations was most frequent in the lowest social group. Risk of stillbirth and neonatal death varied substantially between social groups even after taking account of number of visits made.
