    Abstract

    Background: A maternal death is defined as “the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes." The maternal mortality ratio in India was 174 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2015. Most maternal deaths are due to haemorrhage, anaemia, and puerperal complications and the vast majority would be preventable with universal access to antenatal care and an effective system of referral.
