The maternal mortality ratio in Spain stood at 3.0 deaths per hundred thousand live births in 2023. According to the forecasted data, this ratio is expected to remain constant at 3.0 in both 2024 and 2025. From 2026 onwards, the ratio is predicted to decrease to 2.0 deaths per hundred thousand live births and stay stable through 2028.
Year-on-year variation shows no change from 2023 to 2025. However, a notable decrease of approximately 33% is anticipated from 2025 to 2026, with the rate remaining steady thereafter. Over the last five years including forecasts, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows an average annual decline in maternal mortality ratio.
Future trends to watch for include improvements in maternal healthcare services, advancements in medical technology, and increased access to prenatal and postnatal care, which are likely to sustain or further decrease the maternal mortality ratio in Spain.
