3 maternal deaths in CUMH this year
Two of the women died in hospital and one woman died at home, subsequent to giving birth.
The figure is equal to the total number of maternal deaths recorded between the three Dublin maternity units each year from 2002-2009. However, the Dublin units — Holles St, the Rotunda, and the Coombe — recorded six maternal deaths between them last year, the worst year for maternal deaths in Dublin hospitals in a decade.
