- Abstract
The article offers information on severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and its impact on maternal and family wellbeing, emphasizing the need for preventability reviews to reduce harm. Topics include the lack of national consensus or agreement in Australia on terms, definitions, and processes for assessing preventability of SMM, as well as the absence of ongoing funding for routine preventability reviews in Australia and New Zealand.
