It reflects the reproductive health and quality of maternal care in a region.
The UN’s goal is to reduce global MMR to below 70 per 100,000 live births.
Many maternal deaths are due to preventable complications during pregnancy, childbirth, or abortion.
According to WHO, over 700 women died daily from such causes in 2023, mostly in low and lower-middle income countries.
Maternal death includes any death during pregnancy or within 42 days of ending it, due to pregnancy-related causes.
Skilled care before, during, and after childbirth can prevent most maternal deaths.
