This book makes available the contributions of the members of the Study Group to provide a current and relevant record of the ongoing challenge of maternal mortality and morbidity, nationally and globally.

The aim of this volume is to provide aspects of strategies which may help in reducing maternal mortality and discuss some of the common causes of maternal deaths world-wide.

Saving Mothers’ Lives has important messages for everyone involved in maternity care. Although some maternal deaths are unavoidable, other women are still dying needlessly in the UK.

Created by the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, Stories of Mothers Lost brings the unseen reality of needless deaths of women to an international audience in a startling and wholly original way.

Each case in this Report represents an individual tragedy. In some, a woman died despite exemplary care but in others the fatal outcome might have been avoided. The 'Maternal Mortality Reports' represent a sustained effort by professionals to learn lessons from sad case-histories which may go unreported or even unexamined.
