Third Delay in Essential Obstetric & Newborn Care: Fateful to life
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The high maternal & neonatal mortality, reveal the truth hidden behind the statistics in India. It is an ironic that in a society where Mother is equated to goddesses, but very little attention is paid to ensure their health in the process of becoming mothers. There is many more scientific evidence shows that the Third delay in essential obstetric and newborn care causes Maternal & Neonatal Mortality. There is a paradigm shift of delays toward the third delay rather than first & second delay, which might be related to inadequate reproductive health services, equipment, supplies, and skilled healthcare workers. There is the strong need for an understanding of the third delay & intervention to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and improve the quality of care. The country does not lack good policies but is warranted if fewer women are to suffer the fate of the wife of the ‘Shah Jahan’ of India, the Empress ‘Mumtaz’ (Maternal Death)
