Presentation Title:

Maternal Near Miss A Window into Quality of Maternal Health Care

Abstract

Maternal Near Miss (MNM) refers to cases where women experience severe, life-threatening complications during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy but survive due to timely and effective medical intervention.  The significance of MNM as a critical indicator for evaluating the quality of obstetric care cannot be ruled out. By analysing the causes, risk factors, and outcomes associated with MNM, we can identify gaps in healthcare systems and implement strategies for improvement. The session will also highlight WHO criteria for MNM, the importance of early recognition and management, and the role of healthcare policies in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. Emphasis will be placed on data-driven insights to underscore the importance of strengthening maternal health services.
