title: Norwegian experiences. Competence of the providers and compliance to the treatment program for antenatal care in Norway.
abstract: Antenatal care was established in Norway during the 1930s. Unlike the other Nordic countries, care is provided by general practitioners, not be midwives. Guidelines were first issued in 1984 after a debate about the quality of the care. This article reports providers' compliance to important parts of the guidelines.
