| Abstract | The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is a good indicator of national development but its calculation is challenging. Estimation can be expensive, labour-intensive and time consuming. Incomplete vital registration of maternal deaths further compounds the difficulty. This scenario necessitates the exploration of other means of estimating maternal mortality, usually indirect techniques. This study estimated the MMR, the percentage of deaths due to maternal causes, and the lifetime risk of maternal death in three rural communities in Zaria emirate, using the indirect sisterhood method. Respondents were mostly Hausa Muslim individuals from 15-49 years of age with a Quranic education. Maternal causes accounted for 46.8% of all deaths, with a 1:13 lifetime risk of dying from maternal causes, and an MMR of 1400 per 100,000 live births. Achieving the fifth MDG will require accurate estimates of maternal deaths. Community-based and survey-based methods such as the sisterhood method are valuable tool in rural area that lack reliable data (Afr. J. Reprod. Health 2010; 14[3]: 77-81).Key words: Sisterhood method, maternal mortality, rural communities. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
