	Report: Maternal Mortality in Herat Province, Afghanistan
		The findings of this study indicate that in seven of 13 districts in Herat Province province, maternal mortality over the last ten to twelve years is between 557 and 630 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (point estimate = 593/100,000), despite having a provincial and district hospital capable of handling complicated deliveries.
		This is due to the lack of health care facilities in Herat Province, prevailing cultural norms that generally preclude women from being examined by male physicians, and the time it will take to establish and staff facilities with qualified midwives, female physicians and nurses.
		In Herat Province, early/forced marriage and inability to negotiate terms of sex, including the use and availability of contraception and possibly birth spacing, may contribute to maternal mortality by leading to a high number of pregnancies starting at an early age.
