One of the most dramatic changes to women's lives in the twentieth
century was the advent of safe childbirth, reducing the maternal
mortality rate from 1 in 400 births to 1 in 10,000 in just 80
years. The impetus behind this change was the Confidential
Enquiries into Maternal Death (CEMD), now the world's longest
running self-audit of a healthcare service. Here, leading authors
in the CEMD tell the story of the pioneering clinicians behind the
push for improvements, who received little recognition for their
work despite its far-reaching consequences. One by one, the leading
causes of maternal death were identified and resolved, from sepsis
to safe abortions and more recently psychiatric illness and social
and ethnic disparities in healthcare. Global maternal mortality is
still too high; this valuable book shows how significant advances
in maternal healthcare are possible when clinicians, politicians
and the public work together.
