Abstract
Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with high maternal mortality rates lack reliable routinely collected data on the quality of care provided to women giving birth in facilities nationwide and information when a death occurs. Although global efforts have been made to address the high numbers of maternal and perinatal deaths (e.g. by increasing the number of women who access health facilities for pregnancy care and delivery), this has not translated into reducing mortality.
