Abstract

Cameroon had 529 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2017. This high
maternal mortality rate (MMR) is likely to reduce if the health system identifies earlier the
complications related to pregnancy and provides an adequate response. The perinatal period
is appropriate to identify some of these complications through antenatal care (ANC).
However, little is known about the contribution of the ANC consultation in the improvement
of safe delivery. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the effect of ANC on the probability
of safe delivery in Cameroon.
