Practice Save Delivery
During 1999-2000 the proportion of women attended by trained personnel during pregnancy was 33.7 per cent, deliveries attended by trained personnel 21.8 per cent, and women of childbearing age currently using family planning 53.8 per cent.In maternal health there has not been much progress. The MMR (Maternal Mortality Ratio) reported for 1998 is 3 per 1000 live births. The TFR (Total Fertility Rate) declined from 4.24 in 1991 to 3.3 in 1997-99, which is still high. There are some effective ways to reduce maternal mortality which include providing comprehensive reproductive health, family planning and essential obstetric care (EOC). Delivery by skilled birth attendant is the first prerequisite for the safe delivery. This is why every pregnant woman should have a plan about their delivery. They should get the proper antenatal care during pregnancy. Sometimes life threatening dangers occur by the traditional birth attendants who have no scientific knowledge about delivery.
