Implication

Systematic review explores barriers and facilitators to antenatal care in low- and middle-income countries, suggesting improvements for maternal health.

Key Points

Coverage of the ANC eight contact model was low across LMICs, typically ranging from 8-20%, with urban settings showing higher uptake.
Key barriers included low awareness of the ANC model, financial constraints, and limited decision-making autonomy, reflecting socio-cultural challenges.
Reported facilitators were associated with higher maternal education, early ANC initiation, male involvement, and community support, promoting better access.
Strengthening health systems and implementing culturally sensitive strategies are crucial for improving ANC uptake in diverse contexts.
