(13.3%), pregnancy related sepsis (11.9%) and pre-existing medical conditions, mainly pre-existing cardiac disease (10.4%). These five causes of deaths accounted for

8. Note: Data only available for perinatal care in public sector institutions. There is insufficient data to accurately calculate the national PNMR, however from existing data it
is estimated that the rate is in the order of 40/1000 births.
