The most common direct causes of maternal injury and death are excessive blood loss, infection, high blood pressure, Toxemias of pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and obstructed labour, as well as indirect causes such as anemia, malaria, and heart disease. Most maternal deaths are preventable with timely management by a skilled health professional working in a supportive environment.

Dr. Sahajananda highlighted the importance of pregnant patient safety. Dr. Prakash, Chairperson of safety committee said: Every pregnancy and birth is unique.
