Summary, etc. Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is one of the core interventions for improving maternal outcomes. ANC services enable early identification of pregnancy related risks and complications and ensure access of services including health education, vaccines, diagnostic test and treatments. Despite the widespread availability of free antenatal care services, most women in rural attend their first antenatal care late in pregnancy and low number of pregnant women attend their first antenatal clinic visit in the third trimester of their pregnancy due to lack of knowledge and experience gained from previous pregnancies. Thus, this study will aim at determining awareness and knowledge of antenatal services among the women of reproductive ages and their influences on the pregnancy outcomes.<br/><br/>Methods: A cross sectional study which was conducted among women of reproductive age attended antenatal clinics at BMC in Nyamagana district. A total of 138 women were involved, a presented questionnaire was used to determine sociodemographic data, awareness and knowledge of antenatal services among women of reproductive age. Data was analysed through STATA version 16 computer program<br/><br/>Results: The study findings report that, there were high level of awareness about antenatal services among women of reproductive age attending antenatal clinics at BMC. Regarding the type of services offered at during ANC visits, majority of women reported that they received anti-malarial prevention, and approximately more than half of women received folic acid supplementation. Family planning, the use of bed nets to prevent malaria and HIV prevention were infrequent health education offered at ANC. Most of the respondents scored 8 to 10 questions regarded knowledge about ANC, thus makes 69.9% of the participants that were categorized as having good knowledge about ANC.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Though most of the respondents showed satisfactory awareness about ANC and that majority of them had good knowledge about ANC, motivation for the pregnant women to patronize hospital-based care during pregnancy needs to be done.<br/> <br/>
