“…Women have a higher risk of death from burns than men (RR = 1.63), in large part because women spend more time cooking, often over open fires, and may be subject to burns from acts of violence in some parts of the world [41][42][43]. While women generally have a lower rate of suicide than men, this trend is reversed in parts of Asia, especially China [44].…”

Women's health is increasingly recognized as a global health priority. It is essential to address not only sexual and reproductive health, but also other health issues that occur throughout life. This paper uses the 2005 estimates of morbidity and mortality from the WHO Global Burden of Disease study and a review of the literature to identify key areas of concern for women by age group and world region. The leading causes of death in women aged between 15 and 44 years include infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, maternal health conditions, and injuries. The leading causes of death in women aged 45 years and older include cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other noncommunicable conditions. Neuropsychiatric and sensory disorders are a major cause of disability for both age groups. An understanding of the key regional and age-specific priorities for women's health will facilitate the development of appropriate interventions and policies to reduce disease burden.

“…The main predictor of the survival of pregnant woman is the percentage of total body surface area affected (5). In most cases in which both the mother and the fetus died, the total body surface area was more than 40% (5,7,8,10,21).…”

“…Women of reproductive age are often victims of burn injury in developing countries (5). Burns that occur during pregnancy are uncommon; however, these injuries are often fatal for both the pregnant mother and her fetus, especially in low-income countries (5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Mortality and morbidity due to severe burn injury are significantly higher among pregnant women than in the general population considering the same degree of injury.…”

Introduction: This paper describes a case of pregnant mother who died of burn injury in order to understand the societal factors related to the event. We reviewed the case in the rural community. Initially, the case was reported as a maternal death to maternal and neonatal death review (MNDR) system being conducted in Bangladesh within exiting health system to explore the medical and social causes of maternal and newborn deaths. However, during the verbal autopsy, it was found that the mother died of bun injury. Therefore, we performed detailed case study. Case Presentation: A woman aged 18 years was nine months pregnant in a rural community in Moheskhali upazila of Cox's Bazar district. During the wintertime, the mother feels cold and goes near to the oven in the yard to be warm. Suddenly, part of her clothing (Anchal of Sari) catches fire; she does not recognized and starts to walk towards her room. A neighbor notices and starts to shout. The woman scars and tries to run. The neighbors come with a bucket of water. By this time, the fire spreads over whole body and cloths. Immediately after the event, she is transferred to a medical college hospital. Conclusions: Doctors tried to do immediate cesarean section; however, they could not save the life of the baby inside. The mother who was severely burnt also died after 10 days. Rural community in Bangladesh still does not have adequate awareness and knowledge about risk of burn. The scarce knowledge of appropriate steps immediately after burn was explored. Moreover, delays in decision-making and transferring the patient to the facility were identified. Specific interventions need to be taken to increase knowledge and awareness in the community, which could save thousands of lives.
