Study on Reducing Maternal Mortality from Direct Obstetric Causes during 2013 in Sudan | Chapter 8 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 18
Despite international agreements to improve maternal health, measuring, monitoring, and comparing mortality rates remains challenging. In 2013, researchers in Sudan conducted a study to see how maternal mortality from direct obstetric causes (obstetric haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, and sepsis) changed after proper therapies. Sudan has been doing MDR in both facilities and communities since 2009. (maternal death review). At the national and state levels, MDRCs (Maternal Death Review Committees) were established. A focal point was designated to each state, health facility, and locality. MDs (maternal deaths) were notified via phone, and all maternal deaths were assessed in an organised way. Maternal mortality (MM) is caused by obstetric haemorrhage, hypertensive diseases, and sepsis. Recommendations have been created to prevent MM. All states have approved and implemented management guidelines, care provider training, and the availability of necessary prerequisites for these cir...
