Additionally, a staggering one million stillbirths happen just minutes\u00a0or hours before birth every year, and many of these losses are linked to\u00a0maternal deaths.\r\n\r\nGAPPS partners with global experts in science, public health and policy to\u00a0achieve these core goals: advance research to understand causes and\u00a0consequences; accelerate development and delivery of cost-effective\u00a0interventions; and raise awareness about these neglected issues. GAPPS also operates\u00a0a repository of data and specimens from pregnant women, such as\u00a0blood and tissues, which serves as a significant resource in advancing\u00a0global health innovations.\r\n\r\nNearly 200 global stakeholders have outlined what needs to be done in a 2015\u00a0Global Action Agenda on Preterm Birth and Stillbirth (GAA). Key goals of the\u00a02015 GAA:\r\n\u2022 Reduce the 15M preterm births and 2.6M stillbirths that occur each year\u00a0around the world\r\n\u2022 Improve survival for babies born too soon\r\n\u2022 Accelerate progress on Millennium Development Goals to improve maternal and child health.\r\n<h2>What we do<\/h2>\r\nGAPPS works to strengthen collaborations in maternal, newborn and child health, and develop a unified, global focus on preterm birth and stillbirth.
