Abstract : Maternal mortality remains a significant challenge in numerous developing nations, with over 40% of pregnant women globally encountering acute obstetric issues. Approximately 300 million women (as of 2007) in the developing world experience morbidities related to pregnancy and childbirth [1]. The global focus is on decreasing the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR). The 2007 and 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set targets of 200 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births and 109 per 100,000 live births, respectively, according to the United Nations. Within the first 24 hours after giving birth and during labour, the majority of maternal deaths take place. In addition to the medical causes of these deaths, a number of interrelated socio-cultural issues also have a role in the delays in seeking medical attention. Delays in seeking care include realising problems, making the decision to do so, finding and travelling to a medical facility, and getting proper and sufficient care there [2].
