Patients. All maternal deaths at Umtata General Hospital during the study period. Intervention. None. Main outcome measures. Avoidable and unavoidable causes of maternal deaths. Results. The crude maternal mortality rate was 158.6/100 000 live births. No particular trends were detected. The three major causes were medical conditions, hypertension and obstetric haemorrhage.
