dc.description.abstractIndia accounts for 22 per cent (117,000) of all maternal deaths in the world and 62 per cent of all maternal deaths in South Asia. Death registration in India is patchy, and maternal deaths are underreported in the country. To know the correct estimates of maternal mortality, it is important to understand the current maternal death-registration system and reasons for underreporting. There is an urgent need to have a nodal person at the district level for documenting and reporting maternal mortality. This will improve enumeration and reporting of maternal deaths. There is also need for creating awareness for registration of maternal deaths. Health centres should be encouraged to report correct numbers of maternal deaths.en
