dc.description.abstractThis study determines maternal mortality ratios (MMR) and identifies risk factors for maternal deaths in referral health facilities in Nigeria. Results show an MMR of 2,085 per 100,000 live births in hospital facilities. Efforts to reduce MMR requires the improvement of emergency obstetric care; public health education so that women can seek appropriate and immediate evidence-based pregnancy care; the socioeconomic empowerment of women; and the strengthening of the health care system. In the past ten years contraceptive prevalence rates have remained low at 10%; antenatal attendance has remained at 64%, skilled birth attendance of 33% is one of the lowest in sub-Saharan Africa.en
