ABSTRACT: Purpose: To contribute to the improvement of the quality of prenatal consultation
at the reference health center of the commune IV of the district of Bamako. Patients
Methods: This was a qualitative cross-sectional study to assess the quality
of prenatal consultation that took place from December 1, 2017 to January 31, 2018. It included 139 pregnant
women whose consultations were monitored by the investigator and then
the women were interviewed upon discharge from the facility to collect their
opinions on the services they received. Results: The age group of 20 to
29 years was the most represented with 60.44%. In our study, 50% of our
patients were managed by midwives. Among the antecedents constituting the risk
factors sought in pregnant women, scar
uterus was more frequent with 33.93% followed by arterial hypertension with
14.28% and multiparity with 7.14%. Conclusion: This study shows that the
evaluation of the quality of services is an absolute necessity for the
improvement of services in integrated reproductive health care centers.
