Objective: to evaluate antenatal care implementation in Family Health (FH) facilities in Cuiaba/MT. Methods: normative evaluation study using two FH centres as case studies (Case I and Case II). The extent of antenatal compliance was evaluated according to Antenatal and Birth Humanization Program standards. Degree of implementation was classified using the following parameters: Implemented: ≥80%; Partially implemented: 40%-79.9%; Implementation Critical: <40%. Differences between cases were checked using Fisher’s exact test. Results: 69 pregnant women were recruited. 19/30 (Case I) and 17/39 (Case II) had six or more antenatal consultations. 27/30 (Case I) and 10/39 (Case II) had VDRL screening at the 1st consultation. Case I had 67.9% ‘input’ implementation and 69.7% ‘activity’ implementation. Case II had 64.3% and 70%, respectively. Conclusion: antenatal care was partially implemented in both cases, indicating the need to adopt measures to improve its quality.
