The post has nothing to do with Turkmenistan. Are women and providers satisfied with antenatal care? Views on a standard and a simplified, evidence-based model of care in four developing countries New WHO guidelines call for only four pre-natal visits in a normal pregnancy rather than the old model of about ten. The question is, will women and providers accept that? In Argentina, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Thailand they apparently will. The Soviet system called for billons of prenatal visits, so Central Asia will find the transition especially challenging. This study provides some hope that having longer visits and addressing mothers’ concerns helps to make up for dissatisfaction with fewer visits. It also points out what I suspect is the real obstacle everywhere – providers don’t quite trust the fewer visits regimen yet.

Did I mention that Prima-News is VERY unhappy with Turkmenistan? Turns out that Prima is a “Human Rights News Agency” which explains a lot. For the record, the Turkmen president and foreign ministry say that these reports are all foul lies.
