Abstract
In March this year the Eighth Report of the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths in the UK was published.1 These enquiries began in 1952 and, as well as providing a breakdown of the causes of deaths in pregnancy and the puerperium, have highlighted areas of substandard care and listed recommendations to improve the care received by pregnant and puerperal women. The maternal death enquiries have influenced maternity health-care policy in the UK as well as stimulated the development of local and national evidence-based guidelines. Other nations look to the UK Maternal Death Enquiries to learn lessons and many of the recommendations are relevant for other developed countries.
