The prenatal consultation is the favorite moment to link the pregnant woman and her family to the existing health system and battle against the infant and women mortality. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is included among the countries in process of development having the pregnant women mortality rate more higher e.g. 846 by 100000 the living birth. This rate is different either provinces and inter urban and rural environment. The aim for our descriptive and analytic study is to give the profile of prenatal cares on the sanitary district of Equateur. Our sample provide to the survey of the PARSS-DRC project. We have observed women 15 to 49 years old, living in health district of Equateur province in rural zones delivering in the 12th last month before our survey.

Abstract
The prenatal consultation is the favorite moment to link the pregnant woman and her family to the existing health system and battle against the infant and women mortality. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is included among the countries in process of development having the pregnant women mortality rate more higher e.g. 846 by 100000 the living birth. This rate is different either provinces and inter urban and rural environment. The aim for our descriptive and analytic study is to give the profile of prenatal cares on the sanitary district of Equateur. Our sample provide to the survey of the PARSS-DRC project. We have observed women 15 to 49 years old, living in health district of Equateur province in rural zones delivering in the 12th last month before our survey. The outcomes are obtained by SPSS.20 Software, it’s show that : 79% of pregnant women are had the prenatal cares. 27% of pregnant women are had 4 prenatal consultations according WHO prescription. 77% of pregnant women realize that pregnancy is dangerous at pregnant women. 56,6% had been informed during the consultation moments about the signs of pregnancy complications.

Abstract: (french)
La consultation prénatale est un temps privilégié pour rapprocher la femme enceinte ainsi que sa famille au système de santé existant et de lutter contre la mortalité maternelle et infantile. La République Démocratique du Congo est l’un parmi les pays en voie de développement, ayant un taux de mortalité maternelle plus élevé, 846 pour 100000 naissances vivantes. Ce taux diffère selon les provinces et entre les milieux urbains et les milieux ruraux. Notre étude descriptive et analytique a pour objet de donner le profil des soins prénatals dans le district sanitaire de l’Equateur. Notre échantillon, nous l’avons tiré des données de l’enquête menée par le projet PARSS/RDC. Les individus observés sont des femmes de 15 à 49 ans, du district de santé de l’Equateur, vivant dans les zones de santé rurales sélectionnées et ayant accouché sur la période de 12 mois avant l’enquête. Les résultats montrent que 79% des femmes retenues avaient reçu les soins prénatals. 27% ont eu au moins 4 consultations prénatales comme prescrit par l’OMS. 77% sont conscientes que la grossesse constitue un danger pour la femme enceinte. 56,6% avaient été renseignées, lors des consultations, sur les signes de complication de la grossesse. Le modèle d’ajustement montre que les facteurs cognitifs favorisent le choix pour des soins prénatals chez une femme enceinte. Nous estimons que l’Etat Congolais doit mettre en place des réseaux communautaires de vulgarisation de l’information sur les soins prénatals et organiser des formations continues en faveur du personnel de santé, surtout les accoucheuses.
