Maternal Health

Addressing the health status of the women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period is an important step to reduce maternal mortality. The Country has been witnessing a progressive reduction in MMR from 130 in 2014 to 2016, 122 in 2015 to 2017, 113 in 2016 to 2018, and to 103 in 2017 to 2019. The Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) target to reduce the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) to 70 maternal death per lakh live births by 2030.
