    Maternal morbidity, maternal mortality, and stillbirth in the Asia-Pacific region
    De Silva, Manarangi Sajini ( 2023-01)
    The Asia-Pacific region hosts many low-middle-income countries with significant barriers to achieving health equity. The Solomon Islands is a Pacific nation with high levels of preventable maternal mortality, morbidity and stillbirth. This thesis investigated rates and causes of maternal morbidity in the region; maternal mortality, maternal morbidity and stillbirth in the Solomon Islands; and the role of betel nut on adverse pregnancy outcomes and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. These findings can guide future research and health policy in the region.
