A resolution supporting the designation of September 19, 2024, as "National Stillbirth Prevention Day", recognizing tens of thousands of families in the United States that have endured a stillbirth, and seizing the opportunity to keep other families from experiencing the same tragedy.
SRES 832 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating September 19, 2024, as "National Stillbirth Prevention Day." It recognizes the approximately 21,000 stillbirths occurring annually in the U.S., highlights racial disparities in stillbirth rates, and emphasizes the emotional and health impacts on families. The resolution urges the President to issue a proclamation encouraging public awareness and support for evidence-based stillbirth prevention efforts, referencing the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act (Public Law 118-69) as a key resource. It does not create new laws but aims to raise awareness and promote existing prevention initiatives.
