Lancet Series 2016: Ending Preventable Stillbirths
2016
This Lancet Series reports on the present state of stillbirths, highlights missed opportunities, and identifies actions for accelerated progress to end preventable stillbirths and reach 2030 maternal, neonatal, and child survival targets. This is an update to the 2011 series which reviewed the global status of stillbirths and presented the case for a triple return on investment in stillbirth prevention that also prevents newborn and maternal deaths. That Series received widespread media attention and an unprecedented response. The 2016 series presents a renewed call to action for the post-2015 era, framed within the context of health, survival, and overall quality of care for women and their babies.
Accompanying resources include a seven-page executive summary of the series which includes infographics.
