Summary
The UK Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths (CEMD) has set a gold standard to improve quality and safety in maternity services for over 60 years. It recognizes the importance of learning from every woman’s death, occurring during or after pregnancy, not only for the clinical staff and services involved in the care, but also for the family and friends she leaves behind.
