A Corrigendum on

Perinatal autopsy in Ghana: healthcare workers knowledge and attitude

By Swarray-Deen A, Attah DA, Sefogah PE, Oduro NE, Nuamah HG, Nuamah MA, Adzadi C and Oppong SA. (2022) Front. Glob. Womens Health 3:1021474. doi: 10.3389/fgwh.2022.1021474

Text Correction

In the published article, there was an error in the Abstract, Background, Paragraph 1. It previously stated: “Perinatal mortality refers to stillbirths and early neonatal deaths. Stillbirth, the death of a foetus from 28 weeks or with a birth weight below 1,000 g, and early neonatal deaths, the death of a new-born within 24 h of delivery, are among the most distressing global health problems, with approximately 2 million stillbirths occurring annually.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“Perinatal mortality refers to stillbirths and early neonatal deaths. Stillbirth, the death of a foetus from 28 weeks or with a birth weight 1,000 g or above, and early neonatal deaths, the death of a new-born within 24 h of delivery, are among the most distressing global health problems, with approximately 2 million stillbirths occurring annually.”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
