“…Pregnancy poses a threat to the life of women and this is so most especially in developed countries. Study shows that 23% of maternal mortalities in the World take place in Nigeria [ 18 ]. It is equally important to get the views and experiences of women with regards to maternal health services use and its impact on their wellbeing [ 19 ].…”

This paper focusses on pregnancy related deaths which is a contemporary issue in modern day Nigeria. Maternal Mortality is more pronounced in Ugep, Cross River State with the maternal mortality ratio of l200/100,000 which is higher than the national figure of 1100/100,000 (Nigerian Partnership for Safe Motherhood, 2018). In Nigeria, about 75 % of women die as a result of these complications either during the course of giving birth or the week preceding delivery (Choudhry, 2012). Recent statistics shows that Maternal deaths account for 32% of all deaths among women age 15–49 in Nigeria. The maternal mortality rate for the seven-year period preceding NDHS 2013 survey was 1.05 maternal deaths per 1000 women. The maternal mortality ratio was 576 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. The lifetime risk of maternal death indicates that out of every 30 women in Nigeria, one will have a death related to pregnancy or childbearing (NDHS, 2013). Statistics further revealed that pregnancy complications in 2012 led to the death of over 52,000 women in Nigeria (Dada, 2016). Maternal Mortality in the seven years preceding the National Demographic Health Survey in 2013 records the figure of live births to be 575 per 100,000, which implies that for one single pregnancy complications resulting to death, more than 20 others are confronted with disabilities which may last a life time, (NDHS, 2013). The theoretical application combines aspects of the Environmental Precedence Theory, Rational Choice Theory and the Health Belief Model (HBM) to explain core variables of the relationship between maternal health practices and pregnancy outcomes. Several conclusions were inferred from the application of sociological theories to the chosen contemporary issue.

“…The health system as an ‘independent intermediary factor’ can influence the exposure and vulnerability to health inequalities (WHO, 2010). Basic and emergency obstetric care, which are critical determinants of maternal health and birth outcomes (Bhutta et al, 2014; Chinwah et al, 2020), remains underutilised in many low and middle-income nations. Most of the deaths in these countries from direct causes of maternal mortality are preventable if regular antenatal and postnatal interventions and institutional delivery are made available and easily accessible to women (Arisukwu et al, 2021; Montagu et al, 2011).…”

The purpose of this article was to conduct a review on the determinants of maternal morbidity and mortality, obstetric health scenario, especially after the implementation of the Janani Surksha Yojana (JSY) and recognise the existing gaps in research in obstetric health and healthcare utilisation in India. The articles were retrieved using search engines like Google Scholar and PubMed, using specific combination of terms along with the grey literature available in national and regional health databases. Although the current medical knowledge and interventions are capable to tackle most physical preconditions responsible for maternal deaths, yet the utilisation of healthcare facilities depends on the available health infrastructure, human resources and quality of services that are accessible and acceptable to the beneficiaries. Acceptability especially is impacted by the health-seeking behaviour of a community. The implementation of JSY is believed to contribute to the decline of maternal mortality ratio, yet maternal health outcome reports gross inequity in terms of utilisation of antenatal care and postnatal care at many sub-national levels. Thus, micro-level studies are required to understand critically the level of utilisation of formal healthcare facilities, in order to ensure an unscathed maternal health profile throughout India.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge for mothers to access health services in Indonesia. Patient management, referral processes, and maternal screening protocols are the reasons for this issue. Aims: This study aimed to analyze maternal mortality trends in East Java Province before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study was conducted using retrospective observation with a cross-sectional design, and samples were selected using a total sampling technique. The number of maternal deaths in East Java was 520 in 2019 and 565 in 2020. The independent variable in this study is the number of maternal deaths, and the dependent variables include age, gravida, place of death, rescue relay, time of death, and maternal complications. The variables of age, place of death, rescue relay, and gravida were assessed using the Chi-square test. Results: Statistical tests showed a ρ value of 0.195 for age; 0.916 for place of death; 0.646 for rescue relay; and 0.048 for gravida. Conclusion: Maternal mortality showed different trends before and after the pandemic in East Java. Significant differences in maternal mortality rate are influenced by gravida status.
