One in six mothers received antenatal care at least four times (15%), while 41% received antenatal care<br />
more than once. Mothers from the poorest households and those with primary education are less likely<br />
than more educated and wealthier mothers to receive antenatal care four or more times. For example,<br />
less than 6% of women living in the poorest households reported four or more antenatal care visits<br />
compared with 32% of those living in the wealthiest households.<br />
