ANC plays an importantrole in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity by detecting early risk factors in order to have an effective intervention in time and by linking the pregnant women to a planneddelivery with a skilled birth attendant. However, studies have shown that there are manymissed opportunities for care, both because of client and health system related factors.

The study also illustrated that higherproportion of health providers did not provide danger sign counseling, advice andinformation related to complication of pregnancy. Although all the health centers have basicstructural medical equipments, none of them has laboratory equipments and high-leveldisinfection process Conclusions and Recommendation:-Overall satisfaction of ANC is low.
