table_text: Only 60% of Yemeni women received antenatal care (ANC) from a skilled provider (doctor, nurse, midwife, or auxiliary nurse/midwife) for their most recent birth. In Yemen, only 30% of births occur in health facilities: 19% in public facilities and 11% in private facilities. Less than half of births (45%) are assisted by a skilled provider. While maternal health indicators are low in Yemen, they have improved in recent years. In 1997, only 34% of women received any ANC compared to 60% in 2013. Delivery assistance has doubled since 1997.
