Integrated Community-Based Screening for HIV, Syphilis, and Pregnancy Screening in Conflict-Affected Regions: A 3 Year Cross-Sectional Study of 1,562 Women in Southwest and Northwest Cameroon.

In Cameroon, maternal mortality remains a profound public health challenge, particularly in the Southwest and Northwest regions where localized conflict has severely disrupted the healthcare landscape.

In such settings, Syphilis and HIV represent leading causes of preventable adverse pregnancy outcomes, including stillbirth and neonatal death.
