Emerging lessons from the FIGO LOGIC initiative on maternal death and near‐miss reviews

This short paper describes some early findings from an overview of the maternal death or severe morbidity "near-miss" reviews that have been undertaken to improve clinical care by the eight societies participating in the FIGO Leadership in Obstetrics and Gynecology for Impact and Change (LOGIC) Initiative in Maternal and Newborn Health aimed at strengthening the role of professional obstetric associations. While it is expected that each will publish its own report, generalizable lessons emerged and valuable solutions were implemented that will help others planning such reviews and audits in future.
