A glance into the hidden burden of maternal morbidity and patterns of management in a Palestinian governmental referral hospital.

In Palestine, maternal morbidity can be prevented by promoting a rational use of cesarean section, avoiding unnecessary medicalization, reducing unwanted pregnancies and updating practices of providers related to abortion/miscarriage care.
