Abstract
An analysis was made of 94 maternal deaths following eclampsia, occurring over a 16-year period. Maternal deaths were high in the very young, primigravida and in elderly women of higher parity. The overall maternal mortality over the years appears the same; while mortality associated with eclampsia seems dependent on time. Factors attributed to high maternal death rate from eclampsia are examined and recommendiations made as to their prevention.Keywords
