Quality of Antenatal Care Service and Factors Associated with Client Satisfaction at Public Health Facilities of Bele Gasgar District.

Quality of service and client satisfaction are crucial to increase services utilization. However, there is a paucity of data in this study area. Consequently, this study aimed to assess "Quality of Antenatal Care (ANC) and client satisfaction in Public Health Facilities". : Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 11 to April 19, 2019. Systematic random sampling was used to select 366 women. Data were collected through the exit interview, data extraction, and observation. Quality of ANC was 30% (95% CI = 25-35). About 55% (95% CI = 50-60) of women were satisfied with the services. Iron/folic acid supplementation (AOR = 2.23, 95% CI;1.30-4.79), measuring weight (AOR = 3.61, 95% CI = 1.40-9.31), travel time >60 min (AOR = 4, 95% CI;2.3-8.16) and 60-120 min (AOR = 3.68, 95% CI = 1.61-8.38), and consultation time (AOR = 2.89, 95% CI = 1.14-7.31) were positively associated with client satisfaction, while health professional initiation to ask question never (AOR = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.08-0.43) and to ask sometimes (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.16-0.65) were negatively associated. Quality of ANC was low while clients' satisfaction was moderately low. Therefore, improvement in the area of input, process, and output is recommended.
