Abstract

Globally, an estimated 2.6 million third trimester stillbirths occurred in 2015 (2, 3) - a number which has not seen meaningful decline over the past decade and which has improved at a considerably slower rate than levels of child and maternal mortality.(1, 4) Half of all stillbirths occur during labour and birth, and almost all take place in low and middle income countries.(4) Until recently, this huge burden remained largely invisible.(2, 5)
