Description
Racheal Agaba and co-authors measure uptake of the recommended eight pregnancy check contacts in Mbarara district, Uganda, in a 2026 facility study. The World Health Organization advises at least eight contacts to catch risks early, yet few women complete them.
Mothers at postnatal and baby clinics in five centers answered surveys checked against their clinic cards in spring 2025. Only a small share of 433 women reached eight contacts. Starting care in the first three months of pregnancy towered over other factors, and living near a facility or earning more also helped. Bringing first visits forward could lift completion sharply.
