Objective of the study was to analyse type of delay, and to suggest measures to reduce it. Methods: A retrospective study done at a tertiary level care centre , data were collected from maternal death review forms and case records. Data studied and analysed. Results: (Majority women were from rural area (73.5.%), and majority (66.8%) were emergency cases .79.3% cases were belonging to lower socioecono-mic class and 76.8%cases were uneducated. most cases Type 1 delay was most common (75.4%) comparatively to Type 2 and 3 delay. Conclusions: High risk cases should be identified. Early referral, easy transport, continued skill based training, monitoring of health services can reduce maternal mortality. Special training should be conducted for ASHA workers and ANM who generally works at grass root level in our country.
