Maternal And Fetal Risk Factors For Stillbirth In Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia: A Case Control Study

ABSTRACT

Background: Stillbirth is defined as a baby born with no signs of life (WHO). Globally, around 3.2 million stillbirths occur annually, of which, 98% are experienced in low and middle-income countries. By 2009, Namibia’s stillbirth rate was 15 per 1000 deliveries. Otjozondjupa Region toped the list of regions with high burden of stillbirth in Namibia in 2016. Like many other countries, stillbirths are not prioritized and fewer resources are mobilized to curb them in relation to neonatal and maternal deaths. This study was aimed at determining risk factors associated with stillbirth in Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia
