Whilst numbers of stillborn babies are reducing, there is still room for improvement according to a recent report.<\/p>\n

The Times revealed recently that the numbers of babies being stillborn appears to be falling, citing statistics which show a reduction from 4.2 stillbirths per 1000 in 2013 to 3.84 per 1000 in 2015.<\/p>\n

However, a study by The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, has recently found that better care could have saved three-quarters of those babies who either die before or shortly after birth or are severely brain-damaged.<\/p>\n

The report includes recommendations to improve outcomes from childbirth focussed on foetal monitoring, neo-natal care and awareness of human factors involved in childbirth.<\/p>\n

This report comes shortly after the BBC revealed a number of babies had died at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust between 2014 and 2016 due to failures in monitoring of the foetal heart rate.<\/p>\n

The RCOG report is an assessment of the Each Baby Counts initiative which aims to halve the number of babies who die or are severely brain-damaged due to avoidable incidents during labour by 2020.<\/p>\n
