Abstract

The aim was to evaluate antenatal consultations at the maternity ward of the hospital in Gao (Mali). Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive evaluative study that involved a randomly selected sample of 122 cases of antenatal consultations carried out over a period of (6 months). Results: In our study, the 21 to 30 age group was the most represented with a rate of 67%; 23% of pregnant women were between 14 and 20 years old and 10% were over 30 years old. The Sonrhaïs were mostly represented. In fact, more than one in two pregnant women belonged to this socio-cultural group, 53.2%. The majority of our pregnant women were out of school or in high school, i.e. 55% respectively; 38%. The household profession was the most represented in our study, accounting for 60% of cases. During this study, most pregnancies were seen in the third trimester with a rate of 72%, less than % of pregnancies had had 4 PNCs. The objective of comparing the quality index of so-called high-risk pregnancies with others could not be explored due to the very limited number of these pregnancies in our sample.
