Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Maternal death is defined by the international classification of disease (ICD-10) is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and the site of pregnancy from any causes related with or aggravated by pregnancy or its management, but not from the accidental or incidental causes. Maternal death has serious implications on the family, the society and the nation. This is a retrospective study of 3 years from 2014 to 2017. Maternal deaths were analysed with reference to different parameters. The MMR in our study is lower than the national averages. Most deaths could have been avoided with the help of good antenatal, intranatal and postnatal care, early referral, quick, efficient and well equipped transport facilities, availability of blood and blood co ponents, and by promoting overall safe motherhood.
