Ghana - World Health Survey 2003, Wave 0

This question is only asked to women who received antenatal care for their last pregnancy in the last five years. The respondent may not remember exactly how many antenatal care visits she had. Precision here is not crucial, however the interviewer has try to get the best possible approximation. If the respondent reports a range of numbers, for example 8-10 visits, the interviewer has to probe and ask her to choose one number. Sometimes the respondent may give a frequency of visits rather than the total number, for example "every month", "once in every three weeks", etc. In this situation, the interviewer has to estimate the number visits from the reported frequency.
