| Summary: | The Confidential Review of Maternal Deaths (CRMD) in Kerala
was started in 2004, with support from the World Health
Organization and modelled on the United Kingdom Confidential
Enquiries into Maternal Deaths. It is carried out by the Kerala
Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology with support from the
government of Kerala. The leading causes of maternal deaths
identified during the period 2004–09 were haemorrhage,
hypertension, amniotic fluid embolism, heart disease and sepsis.
Follow-up actions in the form of advocating for emergency
preparedness, proper transport and standard protocols for
management were initiated. Recently the international arm of the
United Kingdom National Institute for Health and Clinical
Excellence has helped to establish standards to improve obstetric
care in Kerala based on the findings of the CRMD Kerala. |
