Our study shows higher perinatal mortality in a tertiary hospital where emergency obstetric and newborn care is set and quality obstetric care is expected. However, tertiary facilities manage difficult cases which can explain the high PMR. But it is high which means there is enough room for improvement. Hence, the referral hospital and neighboring health facilities should give due emphasis for early detection and management of women with HDP.
