The Use of Audit to Identify Maternal Mortality in Different Settings: Is It Just a Difference Between the Rich and the Poor?

Abstract

Differences in maternal mortality are more than just differences between the rich and poor. Acknowledging the magnitude of maternal mortality and harnessing a strong political will to tackle the issues are important factors. However, there is no single, general solution to reduce maternal mortality, and identification of problems needs to be promoted through audit, both national and local.
