About this trial
The proposed study will assess and implement a comprehensive antenatal HRP screening and telehealth follow-up program in rural Nepal. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. To estimate the burden of HRPs using the existing Antenatal Risk-Score Checklist in rural Nepal 2. Assess acceptability, feasibility, preliminary effectiveness, and implementation outcomes of the HRP bundle at the primary healthcare in Nepal

Other outcomes
Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) Score
We will assess the acceptability of each intervention component (risk-screening scoring system, teleconsultation, weekly patient navigator calls, and provider training) using the mean total score and standard deviation (SD) of the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), administered at both the patient and provider level.
Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) Score
We will assess the appropriateness of each intervention component (risk-screening scoring system, teleconsultation, weekly patient navigator calls, and provider training) using the mean total score and standard deviation (SD) of the Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), administered at both the patient and provider level.
Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) Score
We will assess the feasibility of each intervention component (risk-screening scoring system, teleconsultation, weekly patient navigator calls, and provider training) using the mean total score and standard deviation (SD) of the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM), administered at both the patient and provider level.
