Materials and Methods: A mixed-methods design was adopted. Quantitative data were collected from 263 mothers using structured questionnaires, while qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 20 healthcare workers across public health facilities.

Results: Results showed that 58% of respondents had limited knowledge of stillbirth causes and risk factors, and only 35% recognized early ANC as a preventive measure. Significant positive correlations were found between stillbirth knowledge and ANC practices (R = 0.571, R² = 0.325, P < 0.001), ANC practices and maternal healthcare quality (R = 0.635, R² = 0.403, P < 0.001), and infant outcomes (R = 0.605, R² = 0.366, P < 0.001).

Conclusions: Qualitative findings supported these results, with healthcare providers citing staffing shortages, rushed consultations, and weak referral systems as barriers to quality care. The study highlights the need for provider-led maternal health education and systemic improvements in ANC delivery. Targeted interventions strengthening health education and infrastructure can significantly reduce perinatal mortality in under-resourced regions.
