Retrospective review of maternal deaths in Hawassa Comprehensive Specialised Hospital, in Southern Ethiopia.

This study found that combinations of several factors may be contributing to a high maternal death rate. Most notably, transport, delay management initiation after admission and referral factors account for the majority of maternal deaths. What is the implication of these findings for clinical practice/or further research? Identification of potential problems could assist context-based management of problems. It helps in improving the level of practical skills for the management of pregnancy-related complications like hypertension. It also solves problems in the health services system like access to interventions. It insists on intersectoral collaboration to solve the transportation problems.
