Prevalence of male partner accompaniment to ANC
Slightly less than half (45.7%) of all men in the study
population reported being present during one of his
partner’s antenatal check-ups. There were considerable
differences by country (Table 3). Rwanda had the highest
proportion of men who accompanied their partners to
ANC (86.8%) while Burundi had the lowest proportion
(18.2%). In Senegal and Zimbabwe, roughly a third of
men (32%) were present during at least one check-up,
with slightly higher accompaniment rates in the remaining
countries: Malawi (41.0%), Mozambique (44.2%), Burkina
Faso (45.2%), and Uganda (49.7%), respectively.
