The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare will implement maternal death review (MDR) software as a pilot project in Srinagar, Kulgam, and Jammu, Ramban districts. The move is a significant initiative to support the state in reporting maternal deaths for analysis and planning to improve maternal health outcomes. Sources said initially, the software would be rolled out on a pilot basis in selected districts where maternal deaths are high and processes for reporting are well established and later, the state may introduce the project to other districts. They added that the number of maternal deaths reported in these districts was higher than other districts of the state. Sources said there would be training sessions on the software for officials concerned at block and district levels.
