Authors of articles accepted for publication in Annals of Global Health will be asked to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC) to cover publication costs. This charge can normally be sourced from your funder or institution. We are committed to supporting authors from all countries to publish their work in Annals of Global Health regardless of national income level, and to achieve this goal, we waive the Article Publication Charge for manuscripts where all authors are from low-income or lower-middle-income countries (as defined by the World Bank). From time to time, Annals of Global Health publishes Special Collections, a series of articles organized around a common theme in global health. Recent Special Collections have included “Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Global Health”, “Decolonizing Global Health Education”, and “Capacity Building for Global Health Leadership Training”. Global health workers interested in developing a Special Collection are strongly encouraged to contact the Managing Editor in advance to discuss the project.
Highlights
Disrespectful and abusive practices at health facilities during childbirth discourage many women from seeking care at facilities

Summary
Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (CEmONC) services are an essential component of maternal and child health care. When failures or inadequacies exist in CEmONC systems, poor outcomes such as high maternal mortality and intrapartum stillbirth rates persist. An estimated 40,000 stillbirths occur in Uganda per year. The Saving Mothers Giving Life initiative (SMGL) has implemented a surveillance system known as Birth Weight and Age-at-death Boxes for Intervention and Evaluation System (BABIES) in several Ugandan districts. We assessed intrapartum stillbirth of normal weight babies in Kibaale District using the BABIES methodology
