India accounts one quarter of maternal health of total deaths worldwide. India stands every high maternal mortality rate in the world showing an average MMR of 407 per lakh live births. The estimate MMR in Karnataka 95 per lkh live births. The PIH is also one of the major causes of maternal mortality (8%). PIH appears to range from 5% to 9% for gestational hypertension and from 5% to 7% for pre-eclampsia among nulliparous women without chronic hypertension. The incidence of PIH in nulliparous women is 4 to 5 times higher than in multipara.
