The primary objective of the Nepal Maternal Mortality Study (NMMS) 2021 is to identify programmatically useful information to inform investment and interventions directed towards improvement of maternal health in Nepal. The specific objectives include: To increase the evidence base available on maternal mortality in Nepal and generate estimates of current levels of maternal mortality at national and sub national levels, for the first time in Nepal. To gain a better understanding of why women are dying during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and the social and clinical determinants. To provide information to policy makers and Program Managers at the national and sub national levels to identify and plan targeted interventions to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity.
