Surveillance And Response

Background: Globally, Civil Registration, and Vital Statistics is the recommended method to track births and deaths. This system is weak in developing countries, including Tanzania. Other systems that may be used to report deaths, especially maternal mortality include integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) and DHIS 2. Tanzania has been using Demographic and Health Survey to track maternal deaths from as early as 2000. This study uses a sisterhood method which is conducted every five years, tracking events of the past ten years. It collects maternal deaths related from sisters of the same mother from sampled 10,000 households out of 11,000,000 available in Tanzania. The methodology uses wide confidence intervals, which affect its reliability. Therefore, the presented data is the outcome of tracking maternal deaths data using routine system from health facilities and communities in Tanzania Mainland.

Information Database

In a 2-year retrospective analysis of 147 maternal deaths in South African urban and rural hospitals, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) was estimated to be 144 per 100 000 live births. MMR was significantly higher ( P = 0.025) in urban hospitals (160 per 100 000) and the main causes of death were hypertensive disease in pregnancy (33%), of which eclampsia contributed to 70% of deaths, and haemorrhage (18%). Only 49.7% of women who died, attended an antenatal clinic. The MMR in South Africa is lower than sub-Saharan countries but unacceptably high for a country with a mix of private and public medicine. Disparities have been noted in maternal mortality rates within the country due to different study designs and poor documentation. Structural changes in the health care system would only be possible if a common information database system were established and confidential enquiries held into maternal deaths.
