2006 Conference
2006 ISA International Stillbirth Conference in collaboration with Japan SIDS Family Association
YOKOHAMA JAPAN , JUNE 1 - 4, 2006
The SIDS Family Association Japan and the International Stillbirth Alliance (ISA) are dedicated to the prevention of stillbirth worldwide. There are approximately 4.5 million stillbirth deaths worldwide each year and, until recently, there has been no international forum for research, data collection and/or prevention strategies dedicated to solving these tragic infant deaths. While there have been advances in health care and improved health outcomes in many areas, the rates of stillbirth have not decreased and in fact in some regions the rates may be increasing.
The 2006 International Stillbirth Conference united researchers, healthcare professionals and affected family members with government, business and community service groups in a cohesive movement to address this alarming situation. The 2006 International Stillbirth Conference was held in collaboration with The 9th SIDS International Conference.
