Abstract
Description
A maternal death is the death of a woman while
pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy,
irrespective of the duration and the site of the
pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by
the pregnancy or its management, but not from
accidental or incidental causes.¹
The maternal mortality ratio in developing countries in
2015 is 239 per 100 000 live births versus 12 per
100 000 live births in developed countries. There are
large disparities between countries, but also within
countries, and between women with high and low
income and those women living in rural versus urban
area
