Saving Mothers: policy and management guidelines for ...

Saving MOTHERS policy AND management guidelines FOR COMMON CAUSES OF MATERNAL DEATHS ISBN 1-875017-61-5 FOREWORD The National Department of Health recognises the need to reduce maternal mortality in our country. It therefore set up, and strongly supported, the working of the National Committee on Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths (NCCEMD). The Saving Mothers publication was the beginning of the process of highlighting deaths in pregnancy and these policy guidelines are another step towards reducing maternal deaths in the next few years. These policy guidelines were developed by the Collaborative guidelines Group which consisted of a wide range of health professionals involved in the care of pregnant women. Representatives of nursing, medical and administrative groups was sought and obtained. The consultation process was extensive and draft guidelines were circulated, revised, and re-circulated to the various groups.
