This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of community health workers (CHWs) making proactive home visits to improve antenatal care (ANC) in Mali. Compared to fixed-site CHW services, home visits significantly increased ANC use, including early and frequent visits, while saving costs. The approach was more effective and cost-efficient, showing strong potential for improving maternal health in similar settings.
