Abstract

Obstetric complications are among the deadliest plagues that devour most developing countries. Due to the substantial obstetrical issues seen in developing countries, research analysis demonstrates that countries such as Nigeria, India, and Bangladesh have seen the death of more than a third of pregnant women. India serves as the most vulnerable country in terms of maternal health due to its large population and for the fact that it is a developing country. This paper outlines a health education, using a mnemonic “VIBGYOR” and using a research review mapping to support and illustrate the various interventions to address the maternal and childbirth issue.
