LearnPartner Content

America is seen as a leading developed country in almost all aspects, including our medical and technology sectors. Billions of dollars are spent each year on health care innovation; yet the rate of maternal morbidity is higher than other well-resourced developed countries and stillbirth rates remain high compared to other developed countries. According to one study, more than 15% of maternal deaths within 42 days of delivery occur in women who experienced a stillbirth. Click the link to learn more about the research and what’s being done to change poor maternal health outcomes following stillbirth.
