Pregnancy is a critical period when it comes to infectious risks, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Maternal infections are responsible for high rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity, including miscarriages, prematurity, low birth weight, and even infant death. Despite global prioritization of reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, 95% of maternal deaths still occur in LMICs, with most being preventable through appropriate care.
