The nationwide registration of causes of maternal death should be strengthened to understand the causes in detail, their attributes, as well as the patterns of causes of death. Findings reveal that the main direct causes of maternal death in Ethiopia include obstetric complications such as hemorrhage, obstructed labor/ruptured uterus, pregnancy-induced hypertension, puerperal sepsis, and unsafe abortion. The health sector should sustain its current effort to tackle the diverse causes of maternal death in Ethiopia.application/pdfenMATERNAL MORTALITYVITAL STATISTICSCAUSES OF DEATHDEATH REGISTRATIONOBSTETRICSHEALTH SYSTEMCHILDBIRTHMATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHHEALTH CARE DELIVERYETHIOPIASOUTH OF SAHARAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
