Tiny Babies. Invisible Deaths.
Data and Epidemiology Intrapartum-related neonatal deaths* Policy and Advocacy Preterm Birth Scale-up
Globally, more newborns die each year from prematurity than from any other cause. Additionally, a staggering one million stillbirths happen just minutes or hours before birth every year—many of these losses are linked to maternal deaths.
The full magnitude and many causes of preterm birth and stillbirth remains unknown or untold. GAPPS collaborates with global partners in science, public health and policy to achieve these core goals: advance research to understand causes and consequences; accelerate delivery of cost-effective interventions; and raise awareness about these neglected issues.
