Description
Summary:	Objectives. To describe the inequalities in the quality of prenatal control (CPN) carried out in the department of Atlántico. Population. Pregnant women residing in the department whose birth was attended in a Maternal and Child Hospital in Barranquilla during the period 2016-2018. Background. Despite the efforts made to improve maternal and child health in Colombia, there are still problems with the quality of prenatal services. In this study we examine social inequalities in the quality of NCP. Methods. We analyzed data on the quality of NPC, as recorded in the delivery care process. Five criteria were applied to classify NPC as adequate or inadequate. Concentration curves (CC) were constructed and concentration indices (CI) were estimated for the factors studied. Results. Inequalities related to socio-economic conditions were demonstrated for all factors studied. The estimates suggest that these inequalities favour women with better living conditions (except "being the head of the household"). They also show the influence of the level of schooling on the inequalities found and the contribution of insurance to their reduction. Discussion. Previous studies that showed inequalities in the quality of NPC in favor of mothers with better socioeconomic conditions were corroborated and possible factors related to the inequitable distribution of resources in different areas of residence of mothers were proposed. Conclusion. The coverage of health insurance and the educational level of the poor and vulnerable population are relevant factors in closing the quality gaps of the NPC in the department.
