The results of the study obtained recording and reporting of antenatal care visits K6 from the network is not complete and optimal is a priority problem, while the root causes of the problem are: Low competence of network officers (BPM and clinics) in recording and reporting ANC, limited computer equipment and internet access for recording and reporting in the network, lack of standardized logbooks / recording forms and educational materials and limited budget for network monitoring and evaluation. It is expected that the health office conducts   simple recording training and technical guidance related to ANC K6 reporting standards, interventions through the preparation of simple reporting formats that are easy for networks to use, both in print and digitally, providing physical reporting logbooks that can be collected periodically, and encouraging the use of mobile devices to send simple reports through platforms such as WhatsApp, optimizing the use of available funds for priority activities such as network training and procurement of reporting materials.
