نبذة مختصرة : Promoting maternal health is a critical public health priority, particularly in low-resource settings where obstetric emergencies can significantly impact maternal and neonatal outcomes. Obstetric emergency preparedness aims to enhance healthcare systems' capacity to respond effectively to maternal emergencies, reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. This paper explores the importance of obstetric emergency preparedness in public health settings, highlighting the key components of preparedness and the role of healthcare providers and policymakers in implementing effective strategies. Through a review of existing literature and case studies, we assess successful interventions and best practices in various healthcare contexts. The paper underscores the significance of community engagement, timely access to emergency obstetric care, health workforce training, and robust referral systems to optimize maternal health outcomes. By prioritizing obstetric emergency preparedness, public health systems can take substantial strides towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3—ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all, especially for maternal and neonatal populations in resource-constrained environments.
