Abstract

Despite 88.4% reduction in maternal mortality between 1984 and 2017, Bhutan remains 70 years behind the United Kingdom. Due to difference in resource availability, disparity in access to specialized care and high-end investigations are expected. Fortunately, the variations in Routine Perinatal Care (RPC) are adjustable. Therefore, instead of complete reliance on existing long-term policy-level strategies, initiating a robust maternal mortality reviews and report dissemination; tied with a well-formulated quality metrics for RPC may contribute significantly towards achievement of SDG target 3.1: to reduce global Maternal Mortality Ratio to less than 70 per 100000 live births by 2030.
