Every year, an estimated 342,900 women die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth, 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries. Worldwide, for every 100,000 live births, about 251 women die. The leading cause of maternal mortality (deaths from pregnancy and
childbirth related complications) is obstetric hemorrhage in which a woman bleeds heavily, most often immediately after giving birth. A woman dies every 4 minutes from this kind of complication. A woman can bleed to death in two hours or less, and in
rural areas, where hospitals may be away, this leavesittle hope for women suffering from hemorrhage.
Key words: MMR, IMR, ANTI SHOCK.
