1. INTRODUCTION

Maternal mortality 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 the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes”. Over 250,000 women die every year due to maternal causes.

This is according to the report "Trends in maternal mortality: 1990 to 2010” released in 2012 by the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the World Bank. Though a 47 percent decline from 543,000, many countries particularly in sub-Saharan Africa will fail to reach the Millennium Development Goal 5 – improve maternal health - target of reducing maternal death by 75 per cent from 1990 to 2015.

Every two minutes, a woman dies of pregnancy-related complications, the four most common causes being: 99 per cent of maternal deaths occur in developing countries; most could have been prevented with proven interventions. While women in developed countries have only a 1-in-2,800 chance of dying in childbirth — and a 1-in-8,700 chance in some countries— women in Africa have a 1-in-20 chance. In several countries the lifetime risk is greater than 1 in 10.
