Brief Overview of State MMR or PAMR
New Hampshire Maternal Mortality Review Committee first convened in 2012. The committee meets two to three times each year dependent upon the number of cases complete for review. The committee reviews all maternal deaths that occur during pregnancy and up to 1 year postpartum. Our mission is to conduct comprehensive, multidisciplinary reviews of maternal deaths in New Hampshire for the purpose of identifying factors that may have contributed to the deaths and to make recommendations for system changes in order to improve the health of pregnant and parenting women in New Hampshire.
