  1. 3 Major Causes of Maternal Mortality in India Maternal mortality in India is a serious issue, and it is caused by several important factors. Here are three major causes: 1.High Risk Pregnancy: Many women face complications during pregnancy and childbirth, such as heavy bleeding (hemorrhage), infections (sepsis), and high blood pressure problems (like preeclampsia). These conditions can be life- threatening if not treated quickly. Unfortunately, many women in India, especially in rural areas, do not get the medical help they need in time. This lack of timely care contributes significantly to maternal deaths. 2.Access to Healthcare: Access to quality healthcare is another major issue. In many parts of India, especially in remote villages, there are not enough hospitals or trained healthcare workers. Women often have to travel long distances to reach a healthcare facility, and if complications arise, they may not make it in time for emergency care. This barrier makes it difficult for women to receive the care they need during pregnancy and childbirth. 3.Socioeconomic Factors: Economic conditions also play a significant role in maternal mortality. Many women in India face poverty and lack education, which limits their access to good nutrition and healthcare services. In some cases, cultural factors and gender inequality prevent women from seeking medical help or making decisions about their own health. These challenges make it harder for women to have healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries. To reduce maternal mortality in India, it is essential to improve healthcare access, provide better education, and address social inequalities. By tackling these issues, we can help ensure that more mothers have safe pregnancies and healthy lives.
