The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is a key health indicator that measures the number of women who die due to pregnancy-related complications during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days after delivery. It reflects the quality of healthcare systems, access to medical services, and overall maternal health in a region or country.

Key Causes of Maternal Mortality:

• Severe bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage)
• Infections
• High blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia and eclampsia)
• Complications from delivery
• Unsafe abortions

Importance of MMR:

• Indicates the effectiveness of maternal healthcare services.
• Helps policymakers identify areas needing health interventions.
• A lower MMR reflects better healthcare access and quality for women.

Efforts to reduce MMR focus on improving prenatal care, skilled birth attendance, emergency obstetric care, and access to healthcare facilities.
