Maternal mortality

Adverse Outcomes in Maternity Care provides a unique overview of the Confidential Enquiries into maternal and infant death, highlighting the recommendations made and their relevance to everyday midwifery practice.

For more than 50 years the Confidential Enquiries have collected together invaluable information about why mothers die in pregnancy and childbirth. This unique book collects together all the valuable lessons into one volume.

The RCOG’s global network has enabled it to draw examples from countries as diverse as Afghanistan and Egypt to produce an overview of the challenges still remaining. This book will prove an essential tool for all those trying to tackle the issues of delivering Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 within the next 4 years.
