Access to quality healthcare is an essential factor influencing pregnant women's compliance with Antenatal Care (ANC) visits. This study aimed to analyze the effect of healthcare access on ANC visit compliance among pregnant women in the Working Area of UPT Kasarangan Kasarangan Primary Health Center, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. A quantitative study with a correlational analytic design was conducted involving 43 pregnant women selected through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and maternal health records, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's rho correlation test. The results showed that 46.5% of respondents had sufficient healthcare access, while 69.8% were non-compliant with the recommended ANC visits. Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between healthcare access and ANC visit compliance (r = 0.614; p < 0.001), indicating that better healthcare access was associated with higher compliance. These findings highlight the importance of improving healthcare accessibility to enhance ANC utilization and support better maternal health outcomes, particularly in primary healthcare settings.
