As you said, this is a common story in remote part of Nepal including Achham. I also encountered few maternal deaths and several newborn deaths during my stay in remote Nepal. It might sound odd for the western people to hear that almost every house in remote Nepal has story of perinatal losses. For them those losses are inevitable and also from the wishes of god. In fact all of these deaths are preventable if they have access to services and resources. I am glad to see the ongoing comprehensive review of mortality and morbidity. Yes, indeed there are many factors contributing the high number of maternal and perinatal deaths. The effort made by Nyaya is outstanding to the extent that people have access to services. I would love to continue hear the outcome of this review. Sabitra Kaphle Flinders University, Australia This is really sad to hear this story.
