New York: An estimated 80,000 pregnant women and new mothers die each year in India from preventable causes, including haemorrhage, eclampsia, sepsis and anaemia, making it an average of 301 deaths for every 100,000 live births annually, a new UN study has said.
Many other deaths go unrecorded because they occur at homes or before the woman reaches a medical facility for help, it said.
