Group Pregnancy Care in Rwanda
In Rwanda, we are designing and implementing a group care model focused on prenatal and postnatal care. With group care, pregnant women meet at the health facility where they receive clinical care and also meet together. We are looking at everything from how many meetings to hold and how long each meeting should be to testing discussion guides for the meetings—all to see if this type of group care leads to reductions in preterm births.

Ultrasound
During the second antenatal care visit, mothers receive ultrasound to accurately assess gestational age and identify any fetal malformations.
