Globally, nearly 500,000 women die annually from pregnancy- and childbirth-related complications. Antenatal care (ANC) is one of the most important factors in preventing maternal and infant mortality. This study investigated whether ANC attendance and sociodemographic characteristics of pregnant women influence uptake of skilled delivery at Lokitaung Sub-County Hospital, Turkana County, Kenya.
