Mean number of complications per woman during her reproductive lifetime are presented as number of complications per 10,000 women and for the entire female population of reproductive age in India in 2018. Absolute numbers are presented for the baseline strategy [national average access to CEmOC and CS rate] and the difference between the baseline strategy and the rural and urban strategy are presented. A positive number represents an increase in the number of events while a negative value is a decrease in the number of events.
