Reproductive Health Status of women in India: an Overview

Gujju Rajasekhar, A. Abdul Raheem

Abstract :

 The largest gap between the rich and poor nations is seen in maternal mortality levels amongst all the social indicators. Developed

countries have achieved a Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) as low as 10 whereas India reports 407 deaths per 1, 00,000 women.
Nine in ten maternal deaths occur in developing countries and India shares one fourth of such deaths worldwide. MMR is an
indicator for general socio–economic status, nutrition level as well as maternal health care in the community. Therefore, this paper
examines women‘s reproductive health status in India.
