How many pregnant women in Afghanistan receive four antenatal visits?
UNFPA reports that only about one in four pregnant women receives the recommended four or more antenatal care visits.
What the figure or term means
Antenatal visits can support screening, counseling, birth planning, and timely referral.
A visit count does not by itself measure quality, safety, or continuity of care.
Distance, cost, restrictions, staffing, and facility closures affect access.
Check UNFPA’s latest country update before carrying the ratio forward.
How to use this information responsibly
Current sources show how restrictions, funding cuts, disease, malnutrition, and access barriers overlap, especially for women and children.
National figures should not be used to diagnose an individual, predict one child’s future, or flatten the experiences of all Afghan women and families.
