These figures are still lower than the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) Sustainable Development Goals target, with the target that in 2030 naonatal mortality rate (NMR) no more than 12 per 1.000 live births by 2030. Neonatal mortality comes from poor maternal health, inadequate careduring pregnancy, management of improper complications during pregnancy and childbirth. The purpose of this study was to see the relationship between history of antenatal care (ANC) visits and neonatal death in Indonesia.

Method: This study used a case control design with female respondents aged 15-49 years. Multiple Logistic Regression is used to see the variables most related with the 95% Confident Interval. Data was analyzed using SPSS 24 for windows.

Results: The final model shows that there is a significant relationship between the history of ANC and neonatal death after controlled variables for labor complications. OR value = 2.449 (95% CI: 1.358-4.417).

Conclusion: The implementation of Antenatal Care (ANC) for pregnant women is a step to detect problems or complications that may arise during pregnancy.
