Maternal complications remain a major cause of death globally – WHO

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has identified pregnancy-related complications as a leading cause of maternal deaths globally.

These complications include haemorrhage, a severe form of heavy bleeding, and hypertensive disorders like preeclampsia.

A recent study by the organisation highlights that haemorrhage, which commonly occurs during or after childbirth, accounts for nearly 27 per cent of maternal deaths.
