Collaborative Faculty Grant<br />
Aimed at conducting an assessment <strong>of</strong> the direct <strong>and</strong> indirect causes <strong>of</strong> maternal mortality <strong>and</strong> severe maternal<br />
morbidity in the Dominican Republic, where maternal mortality has been estimated at 159 per 100,000 births<br />

hypothesis that the majority <strong>of</strong> maternal deaths would have been prevented if the national guidelines for the care <strong>of</strong><br />
pregnancy, labor <strong>and</strong> postpartum had been followed. In collaboration with Harvard School <strong>of</strong> Public <strong>Health</strong>, the<br />
