Bill 118 HRES 1474, also known as the "National Stillbirth Prevention Day" bill, aims to designate September 19, 2024, as a day to recognize and honor the tens of thousands of families in the United States who have experienced the devastating loss of a stillbirth. The bill seeks to raise awareness about stillbirths and the impact they have on families, as well as to highlight the importance of prevention efforts.
By designating a specific day for this cause, the bill hopes to bring attention to the need for more research, education, and support for families who have experienced stillbirths. It also aims to encourage healthcare providers to prioritize efforts to prevent stillbirths and provide better care for pregnant women to reduce the risk of this tragic outcome.
Overall, the goal of Bill 118 HRES 1474 is to honor the memory of babies lost to stillbirth, support families who have been affected by this tragedy, and work towards preventing future stillbirths in the United States.
