Approximately 800 women dies every day from preventable causes of pregnancy and child birth. Ninety nine (99%) of these deaths occurs in developing countries. In Tanzania about 80% of the deaths are preventable. Focused antenatal care (FANC) is among of the recommended interventions to reduce maternal mortality and therefore it’s should be provided in high standard.
The objective of this study was to assess the quality of focused antenatal care based on history taking, risk identification, and clinical skills in Magu district.
Facility based cross sectional study was carried for about 18 weeks to assess the quality of ANC given to pregnant women who attended ANC clinic in some facility in Magu. Observational checklist was used to collect quantitative data and short interview was used to assess women satisfaction.
Two hundred and eighteen (218) women captured during their first visit, 88 (40.37%) were captured during their second visit, 43 (19.72%) were captured during their third visit, 17 (7.8%) were captured during their fourth visit and 3 (1.38%) were captured during their after fourth visit.
During the short interview, most of the pregnant women were satisfied with the antenatal cares which were given, though this does not suggest good quality of ANC. Generally the quality of ANC in Magu was poor. The RCH maternal report at Magu accounts for 24 maternal deaths in 2014 and 23 maternal deaths in 2015. Much efforts upon improving the quality of ANC has to be done for better maternal outcomes.
