Good morning Ms. Lustig

Please find attached a 10 year summary report for maternal deaths and manner of death. It is the only report that we run on maternal mortality and update it yearly. We are working on finalizing the 2016 file, so it has not been updated to include that year yet. It will probably be a couple more weeks before that is final. I can send when ready, in the meantime, I have attached the latest available.

Thank you.
