Factors that increase maternal death can be direct or indirect. Generally, there is a distinction between a direct maternal death that is the result of a complication of the pregnancy, delivery, or management of the two, and an indirect maternal death, that is a pregnancy-related death in a patient with a preexisting or newly developed health problem unrelated to pregnancy. The most common causes are postpartum bleeding (15%), the complication from unsafe abortion (15%), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (10%), postpartum infection (Sepsis 8%) and obstructed labor (6%). Other include blood clots (3%)and pre-existing condition (28%). Indirect causes are malaria, HIV/AIDS, and cardiovascular disease, all of which may complicate pregnancy.
Dr Abha Singh, Organizing chairperson and Dean of Raipur Medical College Raipur said that “According to Health & Welfare Ministry Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) has shown a decline from 212 per 100,000 live births in the period 2007-09 to 178 per 100,000 live births in the period 2010- 12, but it’s still an alarming situation as far as rate of maternal deaths is concerned.”
Dr Tripti Nagaria, Head of Dept pointed out that “According to the World Health Organization, every eight minutes a woman dies from complications arising from unsafe abortions. Complications include hemorrhage, infection, sepsis and genital trauma. Additionally, lack of access to skilled medical care during childbirth, the travel distance to the nearest clinic to receive proper care, number of prior births, barriers to accessing prenatal medical care and poor infrastructure enhances these conditions.”
Addressing the program, Dr.Manoj Chellani the co-organizing chairperson and President Raipur Obs Gyn society said that “To tackle the known causes of the maternal mortality such type of interaction among doctors help to exchange views and in turn helps in improvement of treatment of the patient.
