Though improving the quality of health care is one of the targeted strategies in the Health Sector Development\u0000Program IV (HSDP IV) of Ethiopia, little is known about the quality of antenatal care service and client satisfaction at the\u0000different hospitals in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia.\u0000Objective: To determine satisfaction of ANC services among pregnant women at the public teaching and private hospitals in\u0000Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.\u0000Methods: Health institution-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from February to June, 2019 in public\u0000and private hospitals, in Addis Ababa, using sample size determination for comparisons of proportion between the two\u0000populations. All participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled based on the flow of pregnant women to the\u0000ANC clinics at the selected hospitals. Data were entered and cleaned using EPI-info version 3.5.1 and analysis was performed\u0000by SPSS version 21. Association of independent variables with the client satisfaction was done using binary and multivariate\u0000logistic regression. Significant association of variables with outcome was determined using adjusted odds ratio (AOR) together\u0000with 95 % confidence interval. Level of significance was set at P-value of ≤ 0.05.\u0000Results: Five hundred seventy one pregnant women attending Antenatal Care at private (281) and public (290) hospitals\u0000were included with response rates of 94.1 and 91.2% for public and private hospitals, respectively. The age distribution of the\u0000participants was between 17 and 43 years with a mean age of 27.3±5.1 years. Most of the clients, 249 (88.7%) at private and 276\u0000(95.2%) at public hospitals were between the ages of 20 and 34 years. One hundred fourteen (39.3%) of the clients at public and\u0000113 (40.2%) at private hospitals were nulliparous. The clients overall satisfaction with antenatal care was mostly positive both at\u0000the private and public hospitals and two hundred twenty eight (81.1%) of the private and 174 (60%) of the public hospitals were\u0000satisfied with the services provided. Having ANC follow up at the private hospitals had statistically significant difference in client\u0000satisfaction compared to those in public hospitals with P value of 0.019, (AOR 2.97, 95% CI:1.19 -7.74). Clients’ satisfaction with\u0000the cleanliness of the environment was 11.1 times more likely to be satisfied with the general ANC service, P<0.05, (AOR 12.18\u000095% CI: 7.45-19.91).

The mental health of the expecting mother is\u0000of the utmost importance these days owing to various lifestyle stresses and anxieties surrounding pregnancy. The\u0000awareness of changes happening in the body and the mental state should be taken care of.

It starts with week 5 and is written\u0000till week 40 where in tit bits of positive affirmations are written for the expecting mother and virtues are penned down\u0000for every week which the mother can read aloud to the baby in the womb. In these womb conversations the mental\u0000health of the mother is taken care of by positive affirmations and a bond is created between the expecting mother and\u0000the baby. The virtues talked are the ones which can be followed by each one of us in our day to day lives.

STUDY DESIGN: The demographic data, clinical features, and comorbidities of 77 preterm infants with birth weights of less than or equal to 1.500 g were examined, the infants’ growth statuses in the 40th gestational week (gw) and at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months the corrected age, including their weight, height and head circumference, were evaluated. RESULTS: The findings revealed that very low birth weight infants should be closely monitored either during their stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or for up to 6 months corrected age, paying particular attention to growth data, and the appropriate supportive treatment should be administered. The applied support process is influential on the future somatic growth of preterm infants. It was noted in the study that bronchopulmonary dysplasia, proven sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome, steroid treatment for more than three days, patent ductus arteriosus, and ibuprofen treatment seemed to affect somatic growth negatively.
