Abstract:
The study finds that the quality of clinic care varied between estate and non-estate clinics. It
also varied between health workers and the volunteers who assisted in clinical activities.
The study showed that antenatal domiciliary care in the estate sector was almost nonexistent. Appropriate elements of antenatal care were given to all mothers in the clinics, but
quality of care varied. Eighty percent of mothers interviewed were of the opinion that they
had received "good" or "very good" antenatal care at clinics. Fifty eight percent (58 per
cent) stated that they had received good domiciliary care. The study also identified the role
that medical administrators would need to play in order to improve the prevailing antenatal
care services.
