title: Maternal death studies.
abstract: Since its inception, the Maternal Health Committee has assumed as one of its primary functions the study of maternal deaths occurring in the state. The study includes investigation of each case, with interviews with the physicians involved, committee discussion and assignment of responsibility. Periodic publication of these studies in Kansas Medicine constitutes the completion of the educational process embodied in this effort to improve the health of Kansas mothers and newborns.
