Role of contaminated water for stillbirths in pregnant womens
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Untreated infection may cause stillbirth by several mechanisms, including direct fetal infection, placental damage and severe maternal illness. Many bacteria, viruses, and protozoa have been associated with stillbirth. Every country has to develop and implement a plan to improve maternal and neonatal health that includes a reduction in stillbirths, and to count stillbirths in their vital statistics and other health outcome surveillance systems. We also ask for increased investment in stillbirth-related research, and especially research aimed at identifying and addressing barriers to the aversion of stillbirths within the maternal and neonatal health systems of low-income and middle-income countries. Screening, prevention and treatment of maternal infections are important to reduce stillbirth risk.
