Summary

This study will test whether regularly checking pregnant women for hidden genital infections can reduce problems like preterm birth and low birth weight. 250 pregnant women will be split into two groups: one gets the extra screening and treatment, the other gets standard care. The goal is to see if this approach leads to healthier outcomes for both mothers and newborns.
