Sufficiency and consistency of antenatal care services in Ethiopia: Evidence from Mini Ethiopian demographic and health survey
The study underscored the significant impact of regional disparities, financial constraints, education levels, and geographic location on the unequal access to and quality of antenatal care (ANC) services in Ethiopia. Promoting ANC utilization, especially among women with lower education and economic disadvantages, was identified as a key priority. The study recommends targeted interventions to address service gaps for less-educated women and highlights the need for focused efforts to reduce regional disparities in both the adequacy and consistency of ANC services.
