I would like to share some stats in the Indian State:
Maternal death is defined as death of women while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy from any cause related to or aggravated by pregnancy or its management. The maternal mortality ratio is maternal death per 100,000 live births in one year. Reliable estimates of maternal mortality in India are not available. WHO estimates show that out of the 529,000 maternal deaths globally each year, 136,000(25.7%) are contributed by India. This is the highest burden for any single country.
