Abstract in brief

  • The study examines the link between the quality of antenatal care (ANC) and low birth weight (LBW) in Rwanda, highlighting that receiving comprehensive ANC services is crucial for reducing LBW, which affects infant health.
  • Using data from three Rwanda Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2010 and 2019, the study analyzed responses from over 16,000 women and employed advanced statistical methods to assess the relationship between ANC quality and LBW.
  • Results showed a slight increase in high-quality ANC utilization and a slow decline in LBW cases over the years, suggesting that improving ANC quality may have a positive impact on reducing LBW in Rwanda.
