Revision of maternal deaths helps find out the leading causes of death and uncover the complex bundle of contributing factors, and hence facilitate drawing proper policies and  drive evidence-based actions to mitigate these factors.

 

Under the support of the United Nation Populations Fund, the maternal mortality report 2020, has been developed by the teamwork of a national technical committee from Gaza  and the West Bank headed by the Women’s Health and Development Unit.

 

This report and recommendations are dedicated to the families who were left behind after their loss of a wife, a mother, a sister or a daughter.
