To promote the health and survival of mothers and babies Kenya has adapted the WHO goal-oriented Antenatal Care (ANC) package popularly known as focused ANC (FANC). The Ministry of Health (MOH) has designed new guidelines for ANC services placing emphasis on refocusing antenatal care birth planning and emergency preparedness and the identification prevention and management of life threatening complications during pregnancy and childbirth. ANC visits are now used as an entry point for a range of other services thus promoting comprehensive integrated service delivery. A major challenge however is whether the Kenyan health care system can cope with the implementation of this package. The objectives of this study were to assess the MOH s capacity to adapt focused ANC at the service delivery level so that it can be sustained and to examine the extent to which adaptation of the package has increased coverage and quality of key ANC services and the overall quality of care received by pregnant women. The study was conducted in two intervention districts (Busia and Lugari) and one comparison district (Siaya) using policy analysis and a situation analysis. For the policy analysis data were collected through a desk review of current policy and service provider ANC guidelines key informant interviews with stakeholders at the national and district levels and focus group discussions with service providers and clients. For the situation analysis data were collected through an assessment of six health facilities in each district interviews with 12 providers structured observations of client-provider interactions and exit interviews with 419 clients and a review of ANC cards at the facilities. The key findings were as follows. (excerpt)
