Proportion of foetal and placental implantation abnormalities in Madagascar: A cross-sectional study of 35,919 women at public-sector primary healthcare facilities in central and southern Madagascar, 2017–2020
The proportion of foetal and placental abnormalities detected by obstetric ultrasound is consistent with findings from other countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In contrast to current WHO recommendations, pregnant women, particularly those from rural, resource-constrained settings attend obstetric ultrasound screenings most commonly during their third trimester of pregnancy.
