Adequacy of Prenatal Care and its Association with Low Birth Weight in Ndola and Kitwe, Zambia

Prenatal care is one of the recommended interventions globally to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Therefore, in order to understand this inconsistency, this study was designed to explore the association between adequacy of prenatal care received and low birth weight in Ndola and Kitwe, Zambia.
