Access to quality healthcare still remains a major challenge in the efforts at reversing maternal morbidity and mortality.
Despite the availability of established maternal health interventions, the health of the expectant mother and the unborn child remains poor due to low utilisation of interventions.
The study examined the socioeconomic determinants of antenatal care utilisation in peri-urban Ghana using pregnant women who are in their third trimester.
Two-stage sampling technique was used to sample 200 pregnant women who were in their third trimester from the District Health Information Management System software.
Well-structured questionnaire was the instrument used to collect data from respondents.
Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics including binary logit regression model were used to analyse the data with the help of SPSS and STATA software.
The results showed varying utilisation levels of ANC.
From the regression result, age, household size, and occupational status were identified as the important socioeconomic determinants of antenatal care utilisation among the respondents.
The important system factors which influence antenatal care utilisation by the respondents are distance to ANC, quality of service, and service satisfaction.
The study concludes that socioeconomic and health system factors are important determinants of antenatal care utilisation.
Stepping up of interventions aimed at improving the socioeconomic status and addressing health system and proximity challenges could be helpful in improving antenatal care utilisation by pregnant women in Ghana.
