Maternal mortality in Malawi, 1977–2012 by Bejoy Nambiar, Iqbal Anwar, Tim Colbourn, Sonia Lewycka, Chisale Mhango, Ann Phoya

“…Background Millennium Development Goal 5 (MDG 5) targets a 75% reduction in maternal mortality from 1990 to 2015, yet accurate information on trends in maternal mortality and what drives them is sparse. We aimed to fill this gap for Malawi, a country in sub-Saharan Africa with high maternal mortality.Methods We reviewed the literature for population-based studies that provide estimates of the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in Malawi, and for studies that list and justify variables potentially associated with trends in MMR. …”
