Abstract
Indian women's maternal health status was found to be worse than that of women in other developed nations. One of the most crucial aspects of managing and caring for mothers and children has been the promotion of maternal and child health. Safe motherhood by providing good antenatal care (ANC) is very important to reduce maternal mortality ratio and infant mortality rate and achieve millennium development goals. Therefore, the present study focused on the effect of ANC services and the current status of pregnancies in a tertiary care hospital. The present retrospective study was conducted on pregnant women of OPD and IPD in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of a tertiary care hospital in North India between April to October 2022. According to the current study, the number of complicated deliveries was less as compared to the number of delivered women with positive neonatal outcomes. These findings can be used to plan a health intervention programme aiming to improve maternal and health practices which can improve the status of health in pregnant women. This also highlights the importance of proper ANC care and institutional deliveries.
