Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.1 is to reduce maternal mortality to less than 70 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births by 2030.<\/p>\n

The United Nations Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-Agency Group (MMEIG) \u2013 comprising WHO, the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the World Bank Group and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (UNDESA\/Population Division) has collaborated with external technical experts on a new round of estimates covering 2000 to 2020. The estimates represent the most up to date, internationally-comparable MMEIG estimates of maternal mortality, using refined input data and methods from previous rounds.<\/p>\n

This process shows a greater impact on practices and outcomes than other quality improvement strategies, particularly in settings where the audit process includes an action plan and clear targets. By establishing a multidisciplinary and no-blame environment, common problems and solutions can be identified.\r\n\r\nThe need to better understand why stillbirths and neonatal deaths occur, and what can be done to prevent them, has led to the development of <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/maternal_child_adolescent\/documents\/stillbirth-neonatal-death-review\/en\/\">Making Every Baby Count: Audit and Review of Stillbirths and Neonatal Deaths<\/a><\/i>. It provides the\u00a0methodology and tools for developing a mortality audit system with links to surveillance, civil registration and vital statistics, with instruction on counting, classifying and investigating stillbirths and neonatal deaths in order to prevent future avoidable deaths, in facilities and communities. There is also\u00a0guidance on establishing a legal and ethical\u00a0environment in which to create quality improvement\u00a0processes, without fear of blame or punitive actions.\u00a0Many countries already use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/teams\/maternal-newborn-child-adolescent-health-and-ageing\/maternal-health\/maternal-and-perinatal-death-surveillance-and-response\">Maternal Death\u00a0Surveillance and Response\u00a0process<\/a> as a strategy for\u00a0addressing maternal mortality.

Although women and their babies share the same period of highest risk, often with the same health workers present, there has been little movement towards capturing information for stillbirths and neonatal deaths. Basic information for every birth and death is needed, along with a critical review of selected deaths.

Generally, deaths that occur in facilities have more information available compared to those in communities, and future cases may be easier to identify and prevent. However, we\u00a0need to ensure all births and deaths are counted, no matter where they occur. We also\u00a0need strategies to determine\u00a0the number and causes of death among the 50 million births that take place in communities each year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_text_separator title=\"Key Resources\" color=\"custom\" accent_color=\"#cccccc\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/resource\/maternal-and-perinatal-death-and-surveillance-and-response\/\">Maternal and perinatal death and surveillance and response<\/a> (2021)<\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.up.ac.za\/centre-for-maternal-fetal-newborn-and-child-healthcare\/article\/2871749\/the-perinatal-problem-identification-programme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Africa's Perinatal Problem Identification Programme<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/1471-0528.12904\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Towards greater effectiveness of perinatal death audit in low- and middle-income countries<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4577789\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Counting every stillbirth and neonatal death through mortality audit to improve quality of care for every pregnant woman and her baby<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789241511223\">Making Every Baby Count WHO audit guide<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/hnn-content\/uploads\/MCSP-PNDA-Brief_8.12.16.pdf\">Making Every Baby Count policy brief<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cZ6L53EYXgQ\">Making Every Baby Count Video.
