War disrupts health systems, severely challenging pregnant women's access to antenatal care. This crisis leads to increased fetal mortality, preterm labor, and postpartum complications. Barriers such as infrastructure destruction, human resource shortages, and food insecurity exacerbate maternal vulnerability. To overcome these issues, strategies including the use of media like radio, deployment of mobile units, and healthcare staff empowerment are recommended. Revising guidelines and conducting continuous research are vital for developing effective, evidence-based operational plans for antenatal care in wartime conditions, aiming to mitigate adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
