Abstract

Stillbirths represent a significant yet often overlooked aspect of maternal and child health, with approximately 2.6 million occurring globally each year. This article explores initiatives aimed at preventing stillbirths, highlighting healthcare interventions, research endeavors, and advocacy campaigns. Improved antenatal care, including regular prenatal check-ups and the management of maternal conditions, is crucial for identifying and managing risk factors.
