Abstract

El artículo estudia los determinantes de la calidad en los servicios de control prenatal en Colombia para establecer cuáles son las variables de la estructura que afectan un adecuado control prenatal, ya que la literatura especializada considera que el cuidado prenatal es una variable clave para obtener mejoras significativas en el estado de salud promedio de cualquier sociedad. Los principales resultados apuntan a que la calidad está estrechamente ligada a la naturaleza de la institución prestadora de servicio (ips) (pública o privada) y a que algunas variables como la capacitación del médico, su relación contractual con las ips y el nivel de competencia que enfrentan las instituciones prestadoras tienen efectos importantes sobre la calidad de los servicios de cuidado prenatal.
