- The study analysed data from Tamil Nadu’s 108 emergency ambulance service between 2017 and 2024.
- Maternal mortality reduced by 19% during 2023–24, reaching 37 deaths per 100,000 live births.
- Neonatal mortality declined by 17%, infant mortality by 19%, miscarriages by 28%, and home deliveries by 36%.
- Researchers said improvements were linked to better ambulance services, referral systems, and maternal healthcare programmes after the pandemic.
