Morbidity and Mortality

Deadly Delivery found that little data is
available on maternal morbidity (complications),
despite its frequency. “Near misses,” complications so severe the
woman nearly dies, have increased by over
25% between 1998 and 2005.

Currently, nearly 30% of women experience
complications related to childbirth,
and this has not improved in recent years.
