ABSTRACT
This work which featured the comparative analysis of reported cases of maternal deaths looked into the comparison between the mean deaths for each of the causes of maternal death using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and also tested to see if whether the number of deaths by causes has any dependent relationship within the years under consideration using Chi-Square (χ2). Nigeria has been mentioned by the United Nations as having one of the highest rate of maternal deaths in the world (WHO, 2008). Related literature revealed of the main factor affecting maternal deaths is the unavailability of skilled professional birth attendants who provide care during childbirth. A second important factor is the absence of formal education on health care of women under reproductive age. To solve this problem, we recommended that government should maintain and institute health programme unit which will help to enlighten the ignorant baby making parents on the better ways of managing pregnancy. Government is also advised to build more hospitals and health centres in all the rural and urban areas.

INTRODUCTION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Maternal death, also known as maternal mortality, has become the major cause of death among women of reproductive age in many countries and remains a serious public health issues especially in developing countries. A maternal death is defined as the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration of the pregnancy, from any causes related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental causes.
The trend in maternal death rates in England and Wales between 1880 and 1980 was such that the rate of maternal death remained on a high rate through the mid 1930s, after which there was an abrupt and step decline. There were few reliable data on maternal death rates in the United States before 1915, but thereafter, the united state had the highest rate of maternal death compared to any developed country.
It is therefore, based on this information and problem that this chapter focuses on the background of study, statement of the problem. Aims and objectives of the study, significance of the study, research questions, hypothesis, scope of the study and definition of terms.
