dc.description.abstractDuring the pandemic period, the use of health services by disadvantaged groups such as immigrants has deteriorated. The study aims to evaluate the use of antenatal care services by Syrian pregnant women during the pandemic. It is a cross-sectional type of study. The population consisted of 495 pregnant women who applied to the Extended Migrant Health Center (EMHC) between August 2020 and December 2022. Demographic data and pregnancy-related health records were examined through the system records, without any contact with the pregnant women. The percentage of pregnant women who had timely followup for each antenatal visit were 11.5% (n=56), 17.2% (n=80), 20.0% (n=88), and 17.4% (n=73), respectively. Only 17.7% (n = 87) of the pregnant women made the recommended number of visits during their pregnancy period. The recommended number of follow-ups was statistically significantly higher in women with high-risk pregnancies (p = 0.045). Of the pregnant women, 27.4% had anaemia and 2.4% had hypertension. The use of antenatal care in immigrant pregnant women is very low. Interventions are needed in this regard. Increasing the utilization of antenatal care services by immigrant pregnant women is extremely important for both the health of the pregnant woman and the health of the baby.
