This audit shows that there are high rates of preventable intrapartum stillbirths and early neonatal deaths. Both women and providers' factors were found to have contributed to the stillbirths and neonatal deaths. There is a need to encourage women to adequately attend antenatal care, utilize health facilities during birth, and improve maternity and neonatal care at the health facilities.
