Description
Ibrahim Franklyn Kamara and co-authors map what drives quality pregnancy care in Sierra Leone. Good antenatal care catches problems early and saves mothers and babies. Their 2025 study uses the 2019 national health survey. It covers 7,276 girls and women who had a birth or stillbirth in the prior two years. Quality care was defined by a set list of checks and talks.
About four in five women got care that met the full bar. Two factors stood out most. Women who came for four or more visits had near double the odds of full care. Care from a skilled provider also lifted the odds sharply. The team hopes the map guides where clinics add staff and outreach.
