dc.description.abstractOf all health statistics mentioned by the World Health Organization (WHO), maternal mortality is unique in showing the largest discrepancy between developed and developing countries. Approximately 90% of maternal deaths (more than 0.5 million each year) occur in developing countries. Over the last century, almost all countries have accepted antenatal care principles. However, insufficiency of resources and lack of womens compliance were the main handicaps in developing countries and compelled these countries to apply various standard programs. Unfortunately, these programs are not sufficiently effective in the prevention and treatment of maternal mortality. Fixing the number (quantity) of antenatal visits and the static approach affect the quality of antenatal care. Bleeding, chronic anemia, hypertensive disorders, obstructed labor, unsafe abortions and infections are the main factors leading to maternal mortality.The majority of these factors are preventable. It is important to suspect the presence of any of these factors and to intervene promptly both during antenatal care and immediately after delivery. The evidencebased approach is a way of reaching this solution. Antenatal care is a concept that extends from prepregnancy to postpartum, leading to effective emergency care for unpredictable and predictable complications during pregnancy and childbirth.Worldwide policies are not always applicable to each country, coercing national policies.There is still a need for prospective randomized trials to clarify this concept and the relevant policies.en_US
