Abstract Background Antenatal care (ANC) played a crucial role in ensuring maternal and child safety and reducing the risk of complications, disability, and death in mothers and their infants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the current status of ANC emphasizing the number, timing, and content of examinations on a national scale. Methods The data was collected from maternal and newborn’s health monitoring system at 8 provinces in China. After ethical approval, all pregnant women registered in the system at their first prenatal care visit, we included 49,084 pregnant women who had delivered between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. Descriptive statistics of all study variables were calculated proportions and chi-square for categorical variables. Results Of the 49,084 women included in this study, the mean number of ANC visits was 6.95 ± 3.45. By percentage, 78.79% women received ANC examinations at least five times, 39.93% of the women received ANC examinations at least eight times and 16.66% of the women received ANC examinations at least 11 times. The proportion of first ANC examination in first trimester was 61.87%. The percentage of normative ANC examinations and the percentage of qualified ANC examinations were 30.98 and 8.03% respectively. Only 49.40% of the total women received all six kinds of examination items in first ANC examination: 91.47% received a blood test, 91.62% received a urine test, 81.56% received a liver function examination, 80.52% received a renal function examination, 79.07% received a blood glucose test, and 86.66% received a HIV/HBV/syphilis tests. 50.85% women received the first ANC examination in maternal and child health care (MCH) institutions, 14.07% in a general hospital, 18.83% in a township hospital, 13.15% in a community health services center, and 3.08% in an unspecified place. The proportion of women who received each of the ANC examination items in community health services center was the highest, but that in the MCH institutions was the lowest. Conclusions There is a big difference between the results of this study and the data in official reports, this study found the current status of antenatal care is not optimal in China, findings from this study suggest that the systematization, continuity and quality of ANC examinations need to be improved.

The paper outlines the strengths, similarities and differences of metropolitan and rural community health sectors. Case studies are used to look at the history of community health in South Australia, its current status is described and some future directions are proposed. Perspectives are drawn from the authors' collective experiences. Rural and metropolitan community health services in South Australia have developed from different models since they were established in the 1970s. Rural community health services have invariably been established as entities within hospitals and health services, although metropolitan community health services have generally been established as stand alone facilities independent of the acute sector. To illustrate this, two case studies are used to demonstrate the evolution of metropolitan and rural community health services.

workers which includes physical and mental health to get mothers and babies who are healthy during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. Data from the Medan Deli Health Center shows that in 2019 the K1 coverage is only (87%) and K4 only (66%), while the target of K1 and K4 coverage is 100% respectively. Many factors are thought to be the cause of not achieving coverage of antenatal care (ANC) implementation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the implementation of ANC in pregnant women. This type of research is a mix method with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study population was 195 people, with the Slovin formula taken a sample of 66 people. Quantitative analysis was univariate, bivariate using chi-square and multivariate using multiple logistic regression at the 95% confidence level ( = 0.05). The qualitative analysis was analyzed by means of reduction, data display and verification. The results showed the variables that influenced the implementation of antenatal care (ANC) in pregnant women in the work area of ​​the Medan Deli Public Health Center in 2020, namely knowledge p = 0.032, attitude p = 0.018, parity p = 0.008, health services p = 0.016, husband support p = 0.026 and support for health workers p = 0.041. The unrelated variable was job status p = 0.269. The most dominant variable was the health service variable which had a value of Exp (B) = 12.048, meaning that respondents who received health services had 12 times the chance of implementing antenatal care compared to respondents who did not get health services. The conclusion of this research is that the implementation of antenatal care in pregnant women is influenced by knowledge, attitudes, parity, health services, husband support and support from health workers. It is hoped that health workers, especially midwives, will provide good IEC about the implementation of antenatal care to every pregnant woman and carry out more frequent home visit activities and provide advice to the puskesmas to re-attach the standby husband and cooperate with local regional leaders

 K4 pregnant women services are complete antenatal services with a time of examination, namely one visit in the first trimester, one visit in the second trimester, and two visits in the third trimester. The Baumata Community Health Center experienced a decline in K4 coverage based on the Kupang District Health Office profile data and annual reports where in 2016 K4 coverage reached 60.7%, in 2017 it reached 51.8% and in 2018 it only reached 44.2%. This research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative research (mix method) with descriptive research. The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of K4 coverage services at the Baumata community health center in 2018 which includes description of inputs (human resources, facilities, sources of funds, policies and Standard Operating Procedures), process descriptions (planning and organizing) as well as output descriptions (K4 coverage ). Informants in this study amounted to 13 people and respondents numbered 66 people consisting of the Head of the Family Health and Nutrition Section of the Kupang District Health Office, the Head of the Baumata community health center, the Midwife who provided K4 services and the mother who had a pregnancy (K4) at the community health center Baumata in 2018. The results showed that in terms of input at the Baumata community health center as a whole it was good but there was no Ultrasonography facility at the community health center and the limited space where there was no special room for maternal and child health services/ family planning/immunization, in terms of the process is good related to planning, organizing and forms of services received by pregnant women are in accordance with 10T standards, it's just a long time in the process of providing services due to poor management time and lack of awareness of pregnant women to check pregnancy to the facility. The nearest health bag is due to the lack of knowledge of pregnant women about the importance of antenatal care, while in terms of output based on document review it can be seen that in the past three years there has been a decline in achievement of the K4 target at the Baumata community health center. It is recommended that the Baumata community health center procure supporting facilities in the form of Ultrasonography and additional rooms, make time management so that pregnant women do not wait too long for the service process, and conduct socialization to the public about the importance of antenatal care.
