Maternal mortality is an indicator of state of maternal health services, status of women, women's health, and above all developments of nation. India alone contributed 15% of global maternal deaths. Lifetime risk of maternal death in India is 1 in 220 as compared to 1 in 5800 in the UK. The major burden of maternal mortality is in the Empowered Action Group (EAG) states. As per recent SRS data, 2014â€“2016 Maternal mortality rate (MMR) was observed in Madhya Pradesh (MP) as 173. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide with a prevalence rate of approximately 6% and 50% is due to atonic PPH. According to WHO 2014- in India 45,000 maternal deaths take place annually and 20- 60% are due to postpartum hemorrhage.
