Antenatal care coverage (4+ visits)

Antenatal care coverage (4+) visits is the percent of women with a live birth who received antenatal care (ANC) 4 or more times. It indicates both women’s access to and use of primary health care services, and also represents opportunities for pregnant women to receive essential services vital to their health and wellbeing and that of their infants. ANC coverage was a Millennium Development Goal target and is incorporated into the Sustainable Development Goals.

Data Source Notes

UNICEF. UNICEF compiles empirical data from DHS, MICS and other national household surveys. Available survey data on this indicator usually do not specify the type of the provider; therefore, in general, receipt of care by any provider is measured. At the global level, data from facility reporting are not used. Before data are included into the global databases, UNICEF undertakes a process of data verification that includes correspondence with field offices to clarify any questions regarding estimates.

Notes

Benchmark: 100% (universal coverage) by 2030, per the current Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets. This benchmark will be updated if SDG targets change.
