The topic of stillbirth has not received the importance it deserves. The stillbirth society of India has been set up with the aim of facilitating an effort to minimize these preventable stillbirths. Stillbirth rates vary across the world from 4 to 40 per thousand births. The disparity reflects a possibility of reducing rates with appropriate interventions.

The stillbirth society of India is the first formal organization to be registered in India in affiliation to International stillbirth Alliance. The society aims to focus on different aspect of stillbirths. From data, guidelines, each causative factor to placental pathology. The society is much awaited need for the women of India who have lost and grieve the loss of their babies. Public awareness is lacking, the loss is still regarded as taboo; we need to start talking, inviting these women to be a part of change. A life shattering event for many couples which leads to depression and mental health issues. Bereavement counseling needs training so as to be supportive to these couples.

The stillbirth society of India is much needed organization for a public Heath issue. Bringing together people from all aspects of maternity care in India, to share, discuss, learn, and prevent will impact the numbers. We welcome all stake holders to come and join. Together we can do so much.
Preventing a stillbirth is lifetime of love and livelihood for a family!
