MORTALITY IN THE ANDHRA PRADESH

Abstract

In developing nations, pregnancy and delivery complications are the main causes of death and disability for women who are of reproductive age. Every year, thousands of women worldwide pass away during pregnancy or childbirth. Every mother's death destroys a family and jeopardizes the welfare of the children who survive. Research indicates that babies whose moms pass away have a higher chance of passing away before turning two years old than babies whose moms live. As a measure of health, maternal mortality reveals stark disparities between urban and rural areas, between nations, and within countries. Every human being has the fundamental right to good health, and women are entitled to the best possible standard of health and well-being as well as access to high-quality health care services. The percentage of maternal fatalities per lakh live births is known as the maternal mortality ratio, or MMR. Maternal mortality has been the focus of international attention as one of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), specifically under Goal 5. Maternal mortality has decreased by up to 50% in certain nations as a result of persistent international efforts, but the problem has not been resolved. Maternal mortality has been included in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under Goal 3 as a result of ongoing worldwide initiatives. Around 800 maternal deaths are reported every day, with 99% occurring in underdeveloped nations, according to WHO (2014). As a UN member, India is dedicated to lowering.
