Strategies to reduce the global burden of direct maternal deaths.
Obstetric Medicine 2017 March
The leading direct causes of the estimated 196 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births globally are postpartum haemorrhage, the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, obstructed labour, unsafe abortion and obstetric sepsis. Of the Sustainable Development Goals, one (Sustainable Development Goal 3.1) specifically addresses maternal mortality; by 2030, the goal is to reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births. Eleven other Sustainable Development Goals provide opportunities to intervene. Unapologetically, this review focusses the reader's attention on health advocacy and its central role in altering the risks that many of the world's women face from direct obstetric causes of mortality. Hard work to alter social determinants of health and health outcomes remains. That work needs to start today to improve the health and social equality of today's girls who will be the women delivering their babies in 2030.
