Evaluating the association between household water, sanitation and hygiene (Wash) and selected placenta-related complications in The Gambia, Kenya and Mozambique
Placenta-related complications contribute substantially to maternal and perinatal mortality globally, with the greatest burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

PRECISE enrolled pregnant women in antenatal care, followed them up to the postpartum period, and collected data a…

However, our understanding of community knowledge of dietary diversity within the context of maternal diets is limited. …
