What is already done by different societies in reduction of maternal mortality? Are they successful at all?

Abstract

Abstract Maternal mortality represents a major issue for every health system, especially in developed countries that aim on creating protocols to retain a declining pattern. With the appropriate medical supplies and training, some of these countries have made a remarkable progress in preventing maternal morbidity and mortality. On the contrary, developing countries have still made little or even no progress. Identifying determinants and designing strategies is of great importance in order to overcome such difficulties. The aim of this study is to identify the main causes of maternal mortality in the different societies.
