<![CDATA[The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is an indicator used to measure a country's health development and is one of the targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Indonesia, the MMR is still relatively high. Various factors are considered to contribute to the high MMR, including inadequate access and quality of antenatal care (ANC) services, delays in seeking and receiving appropriate maternal services, limited availability of birth attendants, socioeconomic tensions, cultural barriers, and inadequate handling of emergency obstetrics. One potential intervention to reduce MMR is by improving the quality of ANC services through various strategies. One such strategy is the provision of Ultrasonography (USG) services in integrated antenatal care at the primary level. However, unfortunately, the availability of USG at primary level health facilities in developing countries like Indonesia is still very limited. This scoping review aims to determine how the availability of USG services can improve the quality of integrated antenatal care at Puskesmas or Primary Level Health Facilities and provide strategic insights for its implementation. The methodology employed in this scoping review involves selecting topics and determining keywords for journal searches using both English and Indonesian languages through two scientific article databases, namely PubMed and Google Scholar. After applying the PRISMA model (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- analyses), six articles were identified that met the inclusion criteria. The provision of ultrasound services has the potential to enhance the quality of ANC services and should be implemented comprehensively and sustainably.Keywords: Ultrasonography, Primary Health Care, Quality of ANC]]>
