202411 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

This review offers valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare providers seeking to tailor interventions that address the unique needs and challenges faced by pregnant women, their families, and healthcare workers in Uganda. By doing so, it may enhance ANC accessibility and quality, ultimately aligning with the WHO's recommendation of eight ANC contacts (ANC8) and contributing to reducing maternal morbidity and mortality rates.
