Some highlights from the records I looked at today:
Birth years of women attending ANC: The oldest was born in 1970, the youngest in 1999. Educational attainment of women attending ANC: Most have no school; only one had been to high school. How women attending ANC got to the clinic: Women come by walking, tro tros, bicycle, riding on the back of motos, and canoe. In today’s data, the extreme athletics award goes to a woman, 8 months pregnant, who walked 180 minutes to get to the clinic.
