Despite evidence on major interventions on the uptake and scale up of interventions meant to promote maternal health care services, little is known about adequate use of such program in urban Ghana among reproductive aged women. This study examined the determinants of women's Satisfaction on antenatal care use in selected health facilities in the Kwabre East Municipality of Ghana. Using facility-based cross-sectional survey design, a three-stage sampling technique was conducted to sample 220 women attending postnatal care at selected public health facilities. Open-ended questionnaires were used to obtain data from respondents. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics including binary logit regression model were used to analyze the data with the help of SPSS and STATA software. Logit analytical framework was computed to determine equations of variance. The association between antenatal care use and women's satisfaction was determined and assessed using Pearson's χ 2 (2) test indicating 1% was run. Most women (92.7%) had at least four ANC visits during their entire pregnancy. The results indicate standard deviation of 7 with 81% regular ANC visits and 19% irregular. Most women (55%) received care by one caregiver, followed by women (35%) who received care by two caregivers and women (10%) who were cared for by three caregivers. The regression results showed varying utilization levels of 10%, 5% & 1% ANC satisfaction. System induced factors aimed at promoting maternal care use satisfaction are suggested.

“…In resource poor settings, pregnancy confirmation and a first antenatal visit are generally much later. Less than half of pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa have an antenatal visit in the first trimester, and rates are lower in adolescents 46 . Although undernutrition has been a major policy focus in maternal health 47 , antenatal interventions with maternal protein-energy or micronutrient supplements have generally brought minimal changes to birth weight 10 .…”

Adolescent growth and social development shape the early development of offspring from preconception through to the post-partum period through distinct processes in males and females. At a time of great change in the forces shaping adolescence, including the timing of parenthood, investments in today’s adolescents, the largest cohort in human history, will yield great dividends for future generations.

“…For example, pregnant adolescents in many low-and middle-income countries attend antenatal care at least one time but tend to seek care late, have fewer visits, and receive fewer components of care than older first-time mothers. In sub-Saharan Africa, reasons for lack of access to essential and timely antenatal care are financial constraints, insufficient information about the risks of pregnancy, and the benefits of antenatal care, stigma in the community, and disrespectful treatment by health workers [60]. Worldwide, percentage of births assisted by a skilled birth attendant increased from 62% to 81% between 2000e2005 and 2013e2018 [61].…”
