- Maternal health / morbidity / mortality
Type:RecommendationSession:25th session, May 2016Status:AcceptedContents:Draw up a national health policy in order to reduce the high rate of maternal mortality.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 133) In Suriname a study showed that, 62 maternal deaths and recorded 48,881 live births (maternal mortality ratio, 127/100,000 live births) between 2015-2019 were identified. Of the women who died, 14 of 62 (23%) were in poor condition when entering a health facility, whereas 11 of 62 (18%) died at home or during transportation. The maternal mortality ratio decreased over the years, (226 [n=64]; 130 [n=65]; and 127 [n=62]), with underreporting rates of 62%, 26%, and 24%, respectively in confidential enquiry into maternal deaths Figure I, II and III (see Annex 3). Of the women deceased, 36 (56%), 37 (57%), and 40 (63%) were of African descent; 46 (72%), 45 (69%), and 47 (76%) died after birth; and 47 (73%), 55 (84%), and 48 (77%) died in the hospital, respectively, in confidential enquiries into maternal deaths Figure I, II, and III. Significantly more women were uninsured in confidential enquiry into maternal deaths Figure III (15 of 59 [25%,]) than in confidential enquiry into maternal deaths Figure II (0%) and Figure I (6 of 64 [9%]). Obstetrical hemorrhage was less often the underlying cause of death over the years (19 of 64 [30%], vs 13 of 65 [20%], vs 7 of 62 [11%]), whereas all other obstetrical causes occurred more often in confidential enquiry into maternal deaths Figure III (eg, suicide [0; 1 of 65 (2%); 5 of 62 (8%)]) and unspecified deaths (1 of 64 [2%]; 3 of 65 [5%]; and 11 of 62 [18%] in confidential enquiry into maternal deaths Figure I, II and III respectively). Maternal deaths were preventable in nearly half of the cases in confidential enquiry into maternal deaths Figure II (28 of 65) and Figure III (29 of 62). Delay in quality of care occurred in at least two-thirds of cases (41 of 62 [65%], 47 of 59 [80%], and 47 of 61 [77%]) over the years.
Para 134) Suriname's maternal mortality rate has decreased throughout the past 3 decades, yet the trend is too slow to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 3.1. Preventable maternal deaths can be reduced by ensuring high-quality facility-based obstetrical and postpartum care, universal access to care especially for vulnerable women (of African descent and low socioeconomic class), and by addressing specific underlying causes of maternal deaths. Maternal Mortality Ratio per 100.000 was 51.10 in 2017 and 61.17 in 2018.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 50) JS1 stated that Suriname was one of the top five countries with the highest maternal mortality ratio, and that the rural interior had the highest ratio. The highest percentage of deaths was among Maroon women and women in poverty. It noted substandard care in health facilities and a lack of postnatal care.

violence and refer victims to specific professionals who can offer them assistance. These
training sessions result in networks for prevention and combating of domestic violence. The
trainees become contact persons in their district. These trainees are also trained and guided
