Magnitude of utilisation of ANC with eight or more contacts and its associated factors among pregnant women in Yayo District, Oromia, Ethiopia, 2023: a quantitative facility-based cross-sectional study
The magnitude of ANC 8+ contacts utilisation was remarkably low in the study area. Therefore, greater investment is needed to promote the new ANC approach, emphasising ANC 8+ contacts. Special attention should be given to mobilising mothers to initiate ANC before 12 weeks of gestation to reduce the risk of complications and ensure maximum utilisation of ANC 8+ contacts.
