The causes of perinatal mortality in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

Perinatal mortality rates in Central African countries are much greater than rates below 10/1 000 births now being achieved in industrialised countries and arc associated with high maternal mortality rates and high rates of handicap in surviving infants. Attempts to reduce perinatal mortality by improvements in antenatal, intrapartum and neonatal care would therefore be most desirable but for this to be effective the mortality rate from causes amenable to such treatment must first be known.
