Saving mothers, review into confidential enquiries into maternal deaths in SouthAfrica: Is the country
on track?
Lebitsi Maud Modiba
University of South Africa, South Africa
Introduction: South Africa is one of the few developing countries with a national confidential inquiry into maternal deaths.
The establishment of the confidential enquiry into maternal deaths in South Africa was to allow the country to determine
at what level there is a breakdown in the health system and in turn this will allow for remedial action. The information for
saving mothers comes from an analysis of data on women who died in South Africa during pregnancy, pregnancy, labor or
the puerperium in the five quintuple and were reported to the National Committee on Confidential Enquiries into Maternal
Deaths (NccEMD).
Statement of the Problem: All the reports from the inception of NccEMD made recommendations, but poor review and
report on what the country has achieved with regards to maternal mortality.
Purpose: To establish progress made in South Africa with regards to maternal mortality and to assess the levels of maternal
morbidity and morbidity in South Arica and to report findings and make recommendations.
Research Design: A retrospective, comparative study was done to assess all the NccEMD reports from 1998 to 2015 (Systematic
review).
Conclusion: The death of a woman who leaves behind a young family has devastating consequences for these survivors with
increased chances of disadvantage, illness and premature death, especially in poorer societies.
