The Lancet Stillbirth Series

In April 2011, The Lancet released the first global series on stillbirths. The Lancet’s Stillbirth Series provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of global numbers and causes of stillbirths, perceptions and beliefs around the world, and the solutions to prevent stillbirths — well-known interventions as well as innovations. It showcased the work of 69 authors from 18 countries.  This Series also includes a global call for action, key findings, and recommendations. Visit their website at www.thelancet.com.
