Each year, hundreds of whānau experience the loss of a baby, and thousands are affected by miscarriage.
Research shows that bereaved whānau, have an increased risk of poorer mental health outcomes, and there's a critical need for comprehen-sive support.
Health NZ has this week announced, a technical advisory group, to help develop a National Perinatal Bereavement Care Pathway.
That pathway is expected to be finalised by next March.
The co-chairs of the group, Dr Vicki Culling and Dr Kendall Stevenson spoke to Mihi.
