| dc.description.abstract | Antenatal care (ANC) is a key strategy to improve maternal and infant health. However, survey data from subSaharan Africa indicate that women often only initiate ANC after the first trimester and do not achieve the recommended
number of ANC visits. Drawing on qualitative data, this article comparatively explores the factors that influence ANC
attendance across four sub-Saharan African sites in three countries (Ghana, Kenya and Malawi) with varying levels of ANC
attendance. | en_US |
