Publications

To date, Safer Births is the largest project on saving perinatal lives.

Nearly 100 research papers have been published related to the Safer Births projects. These papers have been published in peer- reviewed journals such as the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, PLOS One, Pediatrics, Neonatology, Resuscitation, and BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, and a special issue of Children.
