SIMBA iTECH 1.2 | What is the main reason pregnant women do not go for early antenatal care?

Background

Antenatal care, which we sometimes also call 'pregnancy care', is the support and advice given to a woman when she's pregnant. Think of it like preparing a field for planting - you remove the stones, make sure the soil is good, and give it water so that the crop can grow well. Early antenatal care is like that - it helps to make sure the baby grows well and the mother stays healthy.

It's important to start this care as soon as you know you're pregnant, which is why we call it 'early' antenatal care. Many pregnant mothers in Uganda fail to go for ‘early’ antenatal care within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. This is why we are asking you:
