PMMRC chairperson John Tait, said among other issues highlighted, urgent action is required of DHBs and the government. Only 60-70 percent of women have their first antenatal visit before 12 weeks, a number considered still far too low by Tait.  We re putting out the challenge. DHB s should be looking at going into our local communities to make it easy for pregnant women to access a health professional in the first 12 weeks.
