Postabortal sepsis remains a significant cause of maternal mortality despite Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) services. Improving maternal and child health (MCH) services is crucial to reduce its impact.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynaecology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Postabortal sepsis is a serious complication following induced or spontaneous abortions.
  • The Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act was implemented in 1972 to improve reproductive health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of postabortal sepsis and septic induced abortions.
  • To re-evaluate the effectiveness of MTP services in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of cases over a 2-year period.
  • Data collected from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SSG Hospital, Baroda.

Main Results:

  • Postabortal sepsis continues to be a major contributor to maternal mortality.
