Abstract

The study was designed as a population-based sample of all maternal deaths over a one-year period in 21 governorates. A sample of 7487 deceased women of reproductive age was selected. During pregnancy, delivery, or in the puerperium, there were 825 772 maternal deaths and 53 from incidental causes. Of the maternal deaths, 69.5% were due to direct obstetric causes while 26.9 and 3.6% were due to indirect and unknown causes, respectively. The national maternal mortality ratio was 174 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births.
