- Stillbirth Society of India B-2249, Indiranagar, Lucknow -226016 Uttar Pradesh, India
We are a non-profit organization consisting of health care professionals, researchers, and individuals who have come together with the aim of reducing still births and improving care for families who experience such tragedies.
The idea of registering the Stillbirth Society of India was conceived by me about a year ago and registered on 11 Feb 2021. It is the first registered society in India and is affiliated with the International Stillbirth Alliance.
I can recount a few experiences which define for me the many facets of the problem of stillbirths in India.
As a senior resident walking into the labor room I heard a ward attendant telling a bereaved father waiting for his stillborn to be handed over to the family saying—look the labor room is very busy, should I worry about the live babies or should I waste time in handing over your dead baby?
I realized the complete lack of empathy and dignity in death.
