Dr. Alka Yadav, Dr. Medha

Abstract: Background: Maternal mortality remains a major public health concern, particularly in developing countries. Obstetric near-miss events-where women survive life-threatening complications-serve as valuable indicators for assessing maternal healthcare quality. Objective: To evaluate the incidence, causes, and contributing factors of obstetric near-miss events and maternal mortality. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted over two years (2024?2026) using WHO near-miss guidelines (2014). Results: Most near-miss cases were preventable and associated with delayed referral, low socioeconomic status, and lack of antenatal care. Conclusion: Near-miss audits provide crucial insights into healthcare gaps and help reduce maternal mortality.
