The quality of antenatal care and maternal and fetal outcomes among developing and developed countries a retrospective study

Abstract

This thesis examined the quality of antenatal care in both developing and developed countries. It also examined the perinatal outcomes for patients who had a sufficient number of perinatal visits and those who did not. This study sufficiently proves that a well-developed antenatal care facility together with proper compliance on the part of the patient will result in successful fetal delivery with little to no adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Whereas poor government support and poor compliance result in the increase the risk of neonatal morbidity and maternal mortality rate.
