Pattern of prenatal care utilization in Tehran: A population based longitudinal study.

CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal care utilization complied with both national guidelines and recommendations of World Health Organization regarding the number of conducted visits. Equal accessibility and availability of prenatal care service despite the socio-economical differences of families is suggestive of equity and social justice in terms of providing health services in both public and private sectors. Among healthcare providers, gynecologists were the main healthcare provider for prenatal care visits. PMID: 28966128 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
