Maternal Mortality Review Committees

Maternal Mortality Review Committees are groups of healthcare professionals who examine cases where women die during pregnancy, childbirth, or shortly after. Their goal is to understand the causes and contributing factors of these deaths, identify gaps in care, and recommend improvements. By reviewing individual cases in detail, they help healthcare systems learn from each tragedy, ultimately aiming to reduce maternal mortality and improve safety for all women during pregnancy and postpartum.
