Determinants of adequate antenatal care visits among pregnant women in low-resource setting: evidence from Tanzania national survey
This study identified determinants influencing ANC visits. ANC booking, using the Internet, and mobile phones enhance the likelihood of completing recommended ANC visits while higher parity and experiencing partner-related sexual violence decrease these chances. These findings show a need for addressing wealth inequality, geographical barriers, the impact of intimate partner violence, encouraging internet access for health information, and health promotion for early ANC booking to improve the uptake of ANC services.
