Abstract
Introduction: globally over 600,000 women die annually from complications of pregnancy. Nigeria ranks second globally in the number of maternal deaths. Ogun State has maternal mortality rate (MMR) of 179 per 100000 live births, with 5728 women dying of pregnancy related complications annually. Ogun State has a total fertility rate of 5.4 and contraceptive prevalence rate of 26%. Maternal and Perinatal Deaths Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) started as Maternal Death Review (MDR) in Ogun State in year 2009. The initiative was geared towards conducting qualitative assessment of the causes of maternal and perinatal deaths for evidence-based decisions to prevent reoccurrences of such preventable deaths. This study describes the outcome of maternal death review conducted in selected health facilities in Ogun State to give insight to why women die from pregnancy and related events.
