rural and remote areas. The need to travel long distance, inadequate
information about maternal health, the shortage of primary care providers such
as physicians, specialists and nurses, direct cost in accessing health care,
human errors have been problems identified in maternal health. The objective of
this project is to develop a Web-Based Maternal Health Decision Support System
(MHDSS). The significance of this study is to develop an IT based system to
improve maternal health. The scope of this study covers women within the child
bearing age. This study gives an overview of maternal health, prenatal health,
postnatal health, decision support system, implementation of DSS. It also
explains maternal death, maternal mortality ratio, challenges of maternal
health, causes of maternal mortality, applications of decision support system,
ways of reducing maternal mortality and recommendations in other to improve
maternal health in Nigeria. There are some factors that limited this research
work which include: difficulty in collection of required data, lack of technology
knowledge in user, lack of resources needed and time factor.
