Post-partum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death in China, followed by indirect causes, pregnancy-related hypertension, obstructed labour, ante-partum haemorrhage, embolism and puerperal sepsis according to national MCH surveillance data. The maternal mortality data show that over 75 per cent of all maternal deaths in China are caused by factors that can either be prevented or treated through the provision of essential obstetrical care.
