01/01/2020 - "While some countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have scaled up their prevention of MTCT programmes, ensuring a near-universal prenatal care HIV testing, and recording a significant reduction in new infection among children, several others have poor outcomes due to inadequate testing. "
01/01/2022 - "Key strategies to be implemented include improving infection prevention and control, appropriate resource allocation, improved attendance and quality of antenatal care, ongoing skills training, and interventions to maintain normothermia."

11/01/2021 - "Group care has been shown to be effective in reducing select clinical outcomes, e.g., the rate of preterm birth, but less is known about the effect of Group Prenatal Care (GPC) on mental health outcomes of stress, depression and anxiety in pregnant women. "

02/28/2014 - "The results showed that the quantity of prenatal care is effective in reducing preterm birth and low birth weight. "
04/01/2012 - "Studies among ethnic minorities suggest that prenatal care (PNC) may be less protective against preterm birth (PTB) among foreign-born relative to US-born mothers. "

04/01/2020 - "Children from rural mothers, uneducated families, mothers who did not get more antenatal care visits, poor families, mothers who drink non -improved water, mothers who are affected by malaria during pregnancy, teen-ager mothers are small in size at birth."

02/01/1995 - " Antenatal care attendance, improved housing conditions, and childhood immunization practices are potentially cost-effective strategies for malaria control."
02/01/1995 - "Antenatal care attendance, improved housing conditions and childhood immunization practices are potentially cost-effective strategies for malaria control. "
11/09/2022 - "The improved quality of malaria services delivered during formal antenatal care can help address low coverage and usage rates of preventive malaria interventions in pregnancy and childhood. "

08/19/2022 - "Improved and equitable access to high quality antenatal care, monitoring for appropriate gestational weight gain and increased monitoring of women with high-risk pregnancies may reduce prevalence and improve outcomes of SGA babies. "
03/01/1993 - "Other factors, such as cessation of smoking, higher maternal weight gain and the initiation of early prenatal care have been shown to improve the course and outcome of pregnancy and subsequently result in reduced infant mortality."
10/31/2014 - "A low intensity intervention, integrated with standard antenatal care is effective in limiting postpartum weight retention. "
03/18/2021 - "Despite comprehensive guidelines for healthy gestational weight gain (GWG) and evidence for the efficacy of dietary counseling coupled with weight monitoring on reducing excessive GWG, reporting on the effectiveness of interventions translated into routine antenatal care is limited. "
