9. Timing of maternal deaths-General Conditions
12. Maternal Mortality: UK 1840–1960 Other interventions can make a difference, but not as substantial as skilled attendants. For example, in this graph, the implementation of antenatal care did not reduce maternal mortality in the UK. Improvements came only with skilled attendants who could provide surgical intervention if needed, and who had access to and could use appropriate antibiotics and blood products.
Nevertheless, antenatal care remains an important intervention in maternal care because it provides an opportunity to detect problems and be prepared to handle them.Other interventions can make a difference, but not as substantial as skilled attendants.
