Provision of recommended antenatal care services in Ethiopia: missed opportunity for screening and counselling
Despite the high ANC1 coverage, only one in two women reported receiving the four recommended services. To produce the desired health outcome from ANC utilisation, expanding the coverage should be accompanied by a strong focus on the contents and quality of care. Moreover, regardless of their educational and economic status, all women should receive all components of care as per the recommendations.
