Australia is among the safest countries in the world for childbirth, however stillbirth remains a significant issue – on a typical day, more than six babies are stillborn. In 2019, the Stillbirth Centre of Research Excellence launched the Safer Baby Bundle, a national Australian initiative to reduce the number of stillborn babies by 20%. In the latest episode of Talking O&G: a RANZCOG Podcast, host A/Prof Roshan Zeirideen Zaid FRANZCOG FRCOG AFRACMA speaks to Dr Keeth Mayakaduwage and Dr Penny Sheehan about the implementation and impacts of the Safer Baby Bundle, including its cultural adaptations for First Nations and migrant and refugee communities. Dr Mayakaduwage presents the central findings of an ANZJOG research series which examined the early impacts of the bundle in Victoria, on which he was lead author. Dr Sheehan shares her experience implementing the bundle in clinical practice and provides recommendations for clinicians wishing to strengthen its impact in their own jurisdictions. 🎧 Listen or watch now on your preferred streaming platform (Apple, Spotify or YouTube) and learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gWz_p4YQ
