Table 14 Interventions with evidence of synergistic impact on stillbirth and maternal and neonatal health outcomes

Antenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation

Reduced anemia (iron-containing supplements)

Improved micronutrient status and survival

Balanced protein-energy supplementation

Improved nutritional status

Reductions in low birth weight

Maternal deworming

Reduced anemia, improved nutritional status

Syphilis screening and treatment

Eradication of syphilis infection

Reductions in congenital syphilis (neonatal morbidity and mortality)

Malaria chemoprophylaxis

Reduced burden of malaria and anemia, reduced maternal mortality

Insecticide-treated bed net use in pregnancy

Reduced burden of malaria and anemia, reduced maternal mortality

Intrapartum cardiotocography with or without pulse oximetry

-

Reduced birth asphyxia, neonatal mortality

Emergency obstetric care packages

Reduced maternal morbidity and mortality

Reduced neonatal morbidity and mortality
