Perinatal mortality refers to the death of a fetus or newborn during the perinatal period, which spans from 20 weeks of gestation to 28 days after birth. This term encompasses both stillbirths and early neonatal deaths, highlighting the critical importance of maternal and infant health during this vulnerable time. Factors contributing to perinatal mortality can include maternal health issues, complications during pregnancy or delivery, and congenital anomalies. Addressing these factors through improved prenatal care and access to healthcare services is essential for reducing perinatal mortality rates and enhancing outcomes for both mothers and their babies.
