Beyond averages: dissecting urban-rural disparities in skilled antenatal care utilization in Bangladesh - a conway-maxwell-poisson regression analysis
Our findings from this study indicate that the concerned authority should come forward, and policymakers should emphasize various factors that are mainly responsible for the noteworthy different SANC status of pregnant women living in rural and urban areas in Bangladesh. Doing so, it can be hoped that the required number of ANC visits (eight or more) in both types of residences in Bangladesh, recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), will be satisfied to ensure safer motherhood.
