The Perinatal and Maternal Mortality Review Committee (PMMRC) is an independent committee that reviews the deaths of babies and mothers in New Zealand. The PMMRC’s role can, at times, include reviewing events when the mother and/or baby was very unwell as a result of the pregnancy (severe morbidity).
