英文摘要	Objectives: To reveal causes of non-registration for antenatal care at local PHC centers; to reveal causes for not receiving antenatal care; and to assess coverage, sources and contents of antenatal care. Methods: The study involved 1996 mothers from urban, rural and hegar (deserts collection) areas. Trained nurses collected data from family files and maternity cards kept at primary health care centers (PHCC), as well as interview with mothers, within two weeks after delivery, during registration of new births. Results: About two-fifths of mothers failed to register for antenatal care at their local PHCC for a variety of reasons. Furthermore, 2.3% of them failed to seek antenatal care from any source mainly due to the idea that pregnancy is normal and there is no need for care. On average, each mother received 7.8 antenatal visits and about 72% of them initiated care at the first trimester of pregnancy. Different independent predictors were found to be associated with failure to register for antenatal care, failure to receive antenatal care, late initiation of prenatal care, seeking antenatal care at private clinics. Conclusion: Despite a high level of antenatal care coverage, there is room for improvement in coverage and registration at local PHCCs. The increasing role of private health services in providing maternity care necessitates a liaison between PHC and private clinics with adequate feedback for proper monitoring and evaluation of maternity care at the community level.
