Abstract:
Maternal morbidity refers to any health condition complicating pregnancy and childbirth that has a negative impact on the woman's wellbeing. Despite improvements in maternal mortality and morbidity, approximately 830 women die as a result of pregnancy or childbirth-related complications globally each day. Although, the concept of maternal morbidity is emerging analogous to maternal near miss, there is a paucity of evidence on its magnitude and factors associated with it particularly in the study area.
