![]() ![]() Intrapartum stillbirth is a sensitive marker of timeliness and quality of intrapartum care. Overall, an estimated 741,700 babies died during labour in 2021 in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, accounting for 91 per cent of all intrapartum stillbirths worldwide. Around half of all stillbirths in West and Central Africa, Eastern and Southern Africa and South Asia are intrapartum, compared to 8 per cent in Western Europe. Almost all of these 814,000 stillborn deaths could have been prevented with access to high-quality care during childbirth, including ongoing intrapartum monitoring and timely intervention in case of complications. Globally, in 2021, an estimated 45 per cent of all stillbirths were intrapartum (i.e., the baby died during labour). Most stillbirths are preventable, so long as proven interventions that improve the health of mothers and their babies along the continuum of care are available and accessed.
