For thousands of families across the developing world, pregnancy does not end as a happy birth to be celebrated, but instead as a huge tragedy for the entire family. A mother, a wife and a daughter loses her life, and even if the baby survives, she runs very high risks in the first months of a motherless life. Despite the attendant risks, evolution has ensured that mothers are enormously resilient and with good healthcare, it has been possible to bring their death rates down to all but zero. The number of women who die during childbirth in India has come down sharply, with more women now delivering children in hospitals. The maternal mortality rate (MMR), according to the sample registration system (SRS) data released by the office of Registrar General of India on Wednesday declined to 130 in 2014-16 from 167 in 2011-13 — a significant improvement on a parameter widely used by analysts and developmental economists to rate a country’s progress. MMR is defined as the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. The 22% reduction in MMR since 2013 means nearly one thousand fewer women now die of pregnancy-related complications each month in India. The Union health ministry is attributing this improvement mainly to rise in institutional deliveries across the country. In developing countries such as India, maternal mortality is a huge public health issue. Causes range from excessive blood loss to infections, primarily because women do not give birth in a hospital or health centre.
