  2. Definition (Health Evidence Network) Antenatal care is all the care that a pregnant woman receives from organized health services. The primary aims of this care are to: • detect early factors that may heighten the perinatal risk of both individual pregnancies and members of vulnerable groups; • intervene to improve outcomes; • educate all who provide or receive care; and • help make pregnancy and birth a positive life experience.

  3. Antenatal care activities found to be effective The basic activities of antenatal care fall within three general areas: • Screening for health and socioeconomic conditions likely to increase the possibility of specific adverse outcomes; 2. providing therapeutic interventions known to be beneficial; and 3. Educating pregnant women about planning for safe birth, emergencies during pregnancy and how to deal with them.
