Background: Maternal mortality is unacceptably high especially in developing countries. About 287,000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2020. The vast majority of these deaths (95 %) occurred in low and lower middle countries in 2020 and most could have been prevented. Every day in 2020, approximately 800 women died from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Utilization of antenatal visit has been shown to improve birth outcome as well as the maternal outcome during pregnancy-related events, giving a positive impact when the visit frequency and care are adequate while satisfaction has equally been an important outcome measures of quality of care.

The variables were summarized using frequencies, proportions, means and standard deviation. Chi Square was used for test of significance with the p-value set at P |
