“…This is comparable to other studies. 13 Perinatal mortality was more in pregnancies complicated by medical disorders like anaemia, hypertension diabetes, similar to other studies. 13 Pre-existing maternal disorders are associated with increase perinatal loss and need more aggressive antenatal management.…”

Background: Safe motherhood and child survival have always been a concern for the policymakers but perinatal mortality, especially stillbirths, have not received due attention. There are 5.9 million perinatal deaths worldwide, almost all of which occur in developing countries. Stillbirths account for over half of all perinatal deaths. This study was aimed to determine perinatal mortality rate and related obstetrics risk factors. Perinatal mortality is only a tip of the iceberg, morbidity being much higher. Vital statistics obtained through this study may serve an important source of information to guide the public health policy makers and health care providers in future.Methods: Present observational study was undertaken in a tertiary center to look into various maternal factors and possible cause of perinatal death. All perinatal deaths including stillbirths (SBs) and early neonatal deaths (ENNDs) within 0-7 days of birth after 28 weeks of gestation were analysed. The data was collected through a pre-designed proforma.Results: Perinatal mortality is 66.27/1000 births in our centre, where 37% were intrauterine deaths, 34% were neonatal deaths and 29% were still births. Preterm, pregnancy induced hypertension; abruptio placentae remain the most important factors for perinatal loss.Conclusions: One of the reasons for high perinatal mortality in tertiary centres is because of poor antenatal care at peripheral centres and late referrals. Early detection of obstetric complications and aggressive treatment is one of golden rule to reduce perinatal loss.

“…Our result in relation to prevalence of maternal anemia was slightly higher than NFHS 4 factsheet [10] because of low sample size, but it was similar with the findings conducted by Kumar et al [11] in rural Maharashtra and Dalal and Shah [12] In relation to the prevalence of perinatal mortality, the findings was slightly higher than SRS report of Karnataka state [13] and study conducted by Siddalingappa et al [14] in rural Mysore. It may be because of complicated pregnancies and late approach to health-care center during the period of labor pain and delivery.…”

Background:The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women averages 56%, ranging between 35% and 100% among different regions of the world. It is now one of the most frequently observed nutritional diseases in the world. It is especially prevalent in women of reproductive age, particularly during pregnancy. The present study was planned to study the prevalence of anemia in pregnant females admitted to the tertiary care center for delivery and its impacts on perinatal outcome. Objective: The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of maternal anemia in a rural community and to assess its impact on neonatal outcome. Materials and Methods: A hospital record-based study was conducted in the tertiary health-care center after taking required permissions and ethics clearance from the institution. The data were collected from record and analyzed in SPSS Trial Version 18. Results: In this study, a total of 992 pregnant mothers were included, out of which 599 (60.38%) were anemic. Among 992 delivery, 83 mothers delivered low birth weight (LBW) baby, out of which 42 (50.60%) mothers were moderate anemic. The prevalence of stillbirth/intrauterine death (IUD) was 55 (5.54%) and found to be higher among mothers who were having moderate anemia (60%). Conclusion: The prevalence of maternal anemia in this study was 60.38%, which was still a major public health problem. Low maternal hemoglobin levels are associated with increased risk of stillbirth and IUD, and LBW babies.

“…Existing efforts made by the Indian government to improve health outcomes lack the support of evidence-based research 18 . The underlying causes of poor maternal and child health and undernutrition may be multifactorial in nature, and an understanding of the experiences of Indian women throughout the perinatal period is necessary to help identify entry points for multifaceted interventions 18 , 19 …”

RAHI–SATHI presents an innovative twinning model of global health academic partnership, resulting in a number of successful research activities, that features trainees or students as the driving force, complemented by strategic institutional support from both sides of the partnership. Others can promote similar student-led initiatives by: (1) accepting an expanded role for trainees in global health programs, (2) creating structured research and program opportunities for trainees, (3) developing a network of faculty and trainees interested in global health, (4) sharing extramural global health funding opportunities with faculty and trainees, and (5) offering seed funding.
