Abstract
In considering the provision of community antenatal services I shall be using the term ‘community’ to refer to the total population of pregnant women, whether they are users or potential users of the health services, and whether they receive their medical antenatal care at a hospital, health centre, at home or elsewhere. I shall suggest that in planning antenatal services for the community it should be recognised that, as well as the health services, there are many other agencies involved in meeting the health needs of pregnancy.
