\nTitre :Circle
 s of solidarity: exploring group antenatal care for a positive pregnancy e
 xperience in Senegal
\nRésuméAntenatal care (ANC) is essential to screen
  and treat pregnancy-related complications and identify high-risk pregnanc
 ies. It is also an opportunity to communicate and provide support to women
  and families regarding appropriate care seeking practices and health beha
 viors during pregnancy and across the continuum of care. However\, in Sene
 gal\, only around half of all pregnant women and adolescents receive the r
 ecommended minimum of four ANC visits and even fewer receive high-quality 
 services that meet their needs. Group ANC—a model where health care prov
 iders bring together a group of women at the same stage of pregnancy for p
 hysical assessment\, facilitated participatory learning and peer support
 —has demonstrated potential for improving women’s pregnancy experience
 s and health outcomes. This presentation will discuss the implementation a
 nd preliminary findings of an ongoing pilot study of group ANC in Senegal
 ’s Kaolack Region.
