KEY POINTS
· Maternal mortality indicates a woman’s ability to access health care, contraceptive devices, nutrition, and, in a sense, is a mark of the efficiency of a health-care system in responding to demands made of it.
· Researchers from the International Institute for Population Sciences triangulated data from routine records of maternal deaths under the Health Management Information System, with Census data and the Sample Registration System (SRS) to provide the MMR for all States and districts of India.
· The analysis suggests that 70% of districts (448 out of 640 districts) in India have reported MMR above 70 deaths a target under the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
· Similar heterogeneity was observed in other States as well. According to the SRS (2016-18), only Assam (215) has an MMR of more than 200, while in this district-level assessment.
· There is adequate proof that improvements in access to contraceptives, antenatal care, post-delivery health care, body mass index, and the economic status.
· The message during this milestone anniversary year is two pronged: improve overall care for women, and keep real time track of such crucial health data.
· There are people mothers and infants, entire families behind these numbers who will benefit from such an urgent and intense action on reducing eminently preventable deaths.
