Integrated Antenatal Care project briefs: Improved screening and management of maternal infections in Ghana

To address the critical challenges of neonatal and maternal mortality, Ghana Health Service and PATH are expanding infectious disease screening and treatment among pregnant women through the Integrated Antenatal Care project. Working mainly at the primary health care level in nearly 70 facilities across 5 districts of Ghana’s Bono East Region, the project is building the capacities of health care providers, improving availability of services through antenatal care, and strengthen linkages between primary and referral facilities. The team is integrating screening and treatment for infectious diseases including hepatitis B, urinary tract infections, group B Streptococcus, and sexually transmitted infections.
