Life-threatening conditions, such as severe anaemia, puerperal sepsis, severe hypertension, and secondary PPH, were experienced by 7.6% of the study women. Since most women do not receive any postpartum care at the home level, there is a risk of maternal and late maternal death and long-term consequences for such women in the next few months. A large proportion of women also suffer from other less-serious morbidities, which take a toll on women's day-to-day performance. There is evidence that women with severe and less-severe maternal complications in the early postpartum period suffer from many physical, mental, social and economic consequences (48) and a higher risk of death and infant mortality. Hence, it is essential that health programmes make investments to provide postpartum care to all women starting from the first week so that these conditions can be detected and managed in time. This is especially important for those delivering at homes. However, even women who delivered in institutions suffered from many health problems, including life-threatening complications. This suggests that there is a need to screen all women properly before discharge from the facility. The results of our intervention also suggest that it is feasible for skilled birth attendants to visit women's homes and provide postpartum maternal and neonatal care to them in an integrated manner.
