AbstractThe aim of confidential enquiries into maternal deaths is to identify weaknesses in the maternal health care system with a view to remedying them. The method of confidential enquiry is explained using the British system as an example. The reasons why this apparently useful practice is not more widely adopted can in some countries include fears of litigation or lack of trust in confidentiality. Alternative approaches to maternal death audit are discussed.
