ABSTRACT

In developing nations, mothers and children together constitute the bulk of the population. While they get the greatest amount of health treatments, prenatal mothers and children have very high rates of morbidity and death. One of the primary causes for this is a lack of understanding about preventative services. The purpose of this research was to determine the degree of knowledge and awareness among pregnant women concerning prenatal care and different elements of newborn and infant care among moms under the age of three.

Key words: Knowledge, Antenatal care, Infant care, New born care.
