Includes bibliographical references. Death of women whilst pregnant and in the post-partum period is a huge burden of disease in South Africa. All confidential enquiries and research into pregnancy related deaths in South Africa have focused on examining the cases based on the WHO definition of maternal death and have excluded deaths from incidental or accidental causes. Pregnancy related deaths due to suicide, homicide and accidental causes have predominantly only been studied in first world countries. There is minimal data available for developing countries like South Africa. 2014-08-22T10:28:18Z 2014-08-22T10:28:18Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6662 eng application/pdf Division of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
