Abstract
Introduction: Maternal health is an important aspect of any countrys development in terms of equity and poverty reduction. The health of women before and during pregnancy, during childbirth, and after childbirth is referred to as Maternal Health. The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is an important indicator of the quality of the countrys health-care system. India has made remarkable progress in reducing maternal mortality over the last two decades. Methods: Relevant articles were searched using both electronically and print sources. Electronically from search engines such as PubMed and Google Scholar, as well as the WHO, CDC, and MoHFW websites. Print sources for the database included newspapers, the central library, and the departmental library of the Community Medicine, which included a variety of journals and standard textbooks. The following keywords were used in the literature search: maternal health, maternal death, maternal mortality and vaccination for pregnant women. Articles that did not contain these keywords were excluded from consideration. The search was not limited by publication year, and original articles, review articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses were all considered. Recommendation:Early detection and timely management of High-Risk Pregnancy (HRP) are critical factors in reducing maternal mortality.
