Antenatal services, also known as antenatal care (ANC) or prenatal care, are healthcare services provided to pregnant women and adolescents to monitor and safeguard the health of both the mother and fetus from the start of pregnancy until delivery.
These services include medical checkups, risk identification, health education, nutritional advice, and the prevention and management of pregnancy-related complications and concurrent diseases. Antenatal care plays a crucial role in reducing maternal and infant morbidity and mortality by providing personalized support and ensuring access to necessary treatments and immunizations.
