Episode Details

A new study reveals a concerning issue in Ontario: one in five pregnant individuals missed syphilis screenings, which can be deadly for newborns. The research, analyzing over half a million pregnancies, found that more than 44,000 missed initial screenings and over 13,000 had late tests. These gaps in care disproportionately affect marginalized communities and increase risks of miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, and developmental issues. The study highlights the need to improve access to prenatal care and screenings to protect both mothers and their children.
