Global action needed!

The 2014 International Congress on stillbirth, SIDS and Baby Survival (ISA/ISPID Congress) is a call for global action to reduce perinatal and infant mortality.

The aims of the 2014 ISA/ISPID Congress are to identify the ‘causes’ of the sudden and unexpected baby deaths during pregnancy, labour or in the first year, and the actions to reduce them. Another major theme dominating the ISA/ISPID congresses since 2004 is the support of parents who lost an infant.

At the Congress the aim is to exchange preventive measures and successful strategies that have been developed to prevent infant death. For perinatal mortality and SIDS prevention, measures need to be implemented and monitored continuously and progress towards achieving the aims should be measured the coming years.
