- This study aimed to assess the community-based antenatal care services provided by midwives in River Nile State, 2017. A cross-sectional community based study using structured questionnaire for collecting quantitative data, was conducted in River Nile State, 2017. Multi-stage cluster sampling technique was used. Three localities of the state were determined. The calculated sample size for women at reproductive age was divided between the selected localities proportional to size of midwives per each locality. Then simple random sample was used for the selection of midwives in each locality and 3 women were selected per midwife. A total of 92 midwives and 276 mothers were interviewed in this study. Generally mothers were satisfied with antenatal midwifery services. Mother’s satisfaction was significantly related to the number of antenatal care visits and place of antenatal care examination. The majority of mothers' sought antenatal care from medical doctors and the majority of mothers who sought antenatal care from midwives are satisfied with their service.
