Summary:This CME section of SAMJ includes detailed information on specific causes of maternal deaths arising from surveillance and confidential enquiries into each such death. Arguments for reviewing these deaths are that identified improvements in care allow for positive changes in the health system and prevent deaths of and complications in mothers and their babies.

In this CME, detailed information on common causes of maternal deaths is provided and problems related to care of the fetus are highlighted.
