evidence: Antenatal care (ANC) is a component of the continuum of reproductive health care to monitor and safeguard the well-being of the mother and fetus through early detection of high-risk pregnancies and complications through screening, with improved access to care, health education, vaccination, and medical therapy as required that promote positive health outcomes for both the mother and her fetus [1, 5]. [...] We, therefore, conducted a secondary data analysis from the current round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-21) with the objective of estimating the coverage of adequate quality ANC service and its determinants in India. The findings of this study would contribute to strengthening the reproductive and child health program of India at both the country and the state levels. [...] Antenatal Care.
