Abstract: Background: Among populations served by a system of public funded health care, the barriers to compliance of Focused Antenatal care (FANC) are less understood, as universal uptake of these services have not been realized. The uptake of four recommended minimum ANC visits is still below average in most of the developing countries which calls for more studies to be conducted to elucidate factors associated to non-compliance. Methodology: This study assessed the compliance of FANC among pregnant mothers in Kisumu County Referral Hospital. The study used a cross-sectional design and data was collected from the Antenatal clinic (ANC) and post-natal ward. A total of 258 mothersattending ANC and postnatal services were interviewed using structured and unstructured questionnaires...
