Abstract :

Timeliness and appropriateness of referral is an important factor in the ultimate outcome of the patients. Linking the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of care are an essential element of primary health care.Although most obstetric complications (defined as acute conditions such as postpartum hemorrhage, sepsis, eclampsia, and obstructed labor that can cause maternal death cannot be predicted, the majority can be treated with timely provision of a package of evidence–based interventions known as emergency obstetric care (EmOC). The availability of EmOC is considered to be an indicator of how well a health system is prepared to manage conditions leading to acute maternal morbidity and mortality. Timing process is critical in preventing maternal death and disability. Maternal mortality can be significantly reduced if a system is in place to recognize problems promptly and to transport a woman to a health facility where she can receive appropriate and timely treatment.With this background, present study was undertaken to evaluate the pattern of obstetric cases referred to tertiary teaching hospital and maternal outcomes amongst referred patients.
