Dear User,
Two Ghana surveys on our website collected maternal mortality data. They are Ghana DHS 1993 and Ghana Maternal Health Survey 2007. You may want to look at Chapter 3 in the Ghana Maternal Health Survey 2007 final report. http:// dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-FR227-Other-Final-Re ports.cfm Table 3.4 contains pregnancy-related mortality by background characteristics, including Ashanti region.
Thank you!

Dear User,
The DHS website has many other surveys (countries) which have collected maternal mortality data. For Ghana we have Ghana DHS 1993 and Ghana Maternal Health Survey 2007. Thank you!

Dear User,
Yes. Most of our final reports have a chapter on maternal health. In the Ghana DHS 2014 final report http:// www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-fr307-dhs-final- reports.cfm it's Chapter 09.
Thank you!
