Maternal mortality has been identified as a health priority and maternal health indicators are also included in SDG ( Sustainable development goals).Epidemiological data ,decentralized studies are essential for designing interventional programmes to reduce the ratio favourably.A retrospective analysis of maternal deaths in our tertiary care centre from July 2019 to Dec 2019 (6 months ) was carried out.The maternal mortality ratio was found to be 475 per 1,00,000 live births .15 patients ( 58% )were referred from government hospitals and 11 patients (42% ) were referred from private hospitals .Out of all the patients referred from government hospitals 66.6 % were referred from primary health centre . The most common direct cause of maternal death was Haemorrhage (21%) followed by other causes ( 21%),Eclampsia (17%), Sepsis (10%),AFLP(10%),infective hepatitis (7 %).
