Maternal health is becoming a global concern because the lives of millions of women in reproductive age can be saved through maternal health care services. Despite efforts that have been made to strengthen maternal health care services, maternal mortality is still high in most of the developing countries. Meghalaya is the least performing in the North Eastern States of India in state level analysis of maternal mortality according to District Reports from National Health Mission and Report 2014-15 of the Statistics Division, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India. Maternal Mortality Rate is alarmingly high with Meghalaya registering 197 deaths per 1,00,000 deliveries. We reviewed our hospital statistics of maternal mortality for last 5 years 2017-21 and got MMR of around 396/100000 live births. The Meghalaya Maternal and Child Health Policy aims to achieve its objectives as per guidelines of WHO’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) timeline of 2030 and the NHP, 2017.
