Determinants of Late Antenatal Care Bookings Among Pregnant Women in Mangwe District, Zimbabwe: A Quantitative Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Five in 10 women had late antenatal care bookings in Mangwe District, which is predominantly driven by educational, economic, and knowledge-based barriers. To decrease late antenatal care bookings, interventions must prioritize targeted community health education, economic empowerment initiatives, and practical solutions to overcome transport and distance challenges.
