Abstract
It provides an overview of the importance of addressing stillbirths, which are estimated to occur 2 million times annually, with over 40% of these being intrapartum and potentially preventable with high-quality care. The document introduces the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME) stillbirth profiles, which present levels and trends of stillbirths in 195 countries. The profiles are organized into five sections, including indicators on stillbirth rates, progress towards the Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP) 2030 target, health service coverage, and data availability. The document also highlights the value of these profiles for policymakers, program managers, and advocates, and provides resources for further information and access to the profiles.
