Counties with the highest stillbirth rates in Kenya

Despite health reforms, stillbirths remain stubbornly high in Kenya, as progress lags behind maternal and neonatal death reductions.

Some counties still shoulder the highest burden of stillbirths in the country.

Data shows Kenya’s stillbirth rate is about 16 stillbirths per 1,000 births

To meet global targets, Kenya must accelerate the decline in stillbirth rates, especially by targeting institutional settings and improving quality of care.

Addressing these factors could also significantly reduce maternal mortality rates.
