Figure 3.21 Antenatal care coverage: at least five visits, 2003, 2008 and 2011

10/01/2015

Among the indicators included on the National Health Services Surveys (NHSS) is reported antenatal care coverage of five or more visits. Estimates from the latest three rounds of NHSS show the coverage of antenatal care of five or more visits increased by 20 percentage points between 2003 and 2011 to reach 63 per cent. This increase was mainly attributed to progress in rural areas, and in central and western provinces. However, gaps between rural/urban areas and among regions are still large.
