The major objectives of the 2016 Bangladesh Maternal Mortality and Health Care Survey (BMMS) were to provide a nationally representative estimate of the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) for three years preceding the survey (approximately 2014–2016), to identify the causes of maternal deaths, and to assess maternal health seeking behavior indicators and compare them with the BMMS 2010 to see how well the country is progressing toward national and global targets for maternal health since the 2010 survey. The survey was conducted in a nationally representative sample of 306,961 households. In each selected household, ever-married women ages 13 to 49 were interviewed and any deaths among women of reproductive age in the household were investigated using a verbal autopsy instrument, with particular attention to maternal and pregnancy-related deaths. Data collection was carried out over a period of six months from August 22, 2016 to February 10, 2017.
