MATERNAL DEATH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Maternal Death Review (MDR) program has been taken up for implementation by several States as per the guidelines and directives of GOI. MDR as a strategy has been spelt out clearly in the RCH –II National Programme Implementation Plan document. It is an important strategy to improve the quality of obstetric care and reduce maternal mortality and morbidity. The importance of MDR lies in the fact that it provides detailed information on various factors at facility, district, community, regional and national level that are needed to be addressed to reduce maternal deaths. Analysis of these deaths can identify the delays that contribute to maternal deaths at various levels and the information used to adopt measures to fill the gaps in service.Out team members are supporting FOGSI (FIGO-LOGIC) in the MDR software initiative by designing, developing and deploying the MDR software.
