This analysis aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and impact of 13 interventions to prevent stillbirths and improve maternal and neonatal health in South Africa.
Reviewed multiple data sources for stillbirth rates since 2000.
Analyzed interventions using the Lives Saved tool (LiST) and Family Planning module (FamPlan) in Spectrum.
Evaluated costs and cost-effectiveness per potential life years gained for selected interventions.
Full coverage of 13 interventions could reduce stillbirth rate (SBR) by 30% to 12.4 per 1,000 births.
Projected maternal mortality rate (MMR) of 132 per 100,000 and neonatal mortality rate (NMR) of 7 per 1,000 live births by 2030.
Full intervention package requires US$420 million annually, indicating strong cost-effectiveness.
