The maternal mortality ratio in Japan has remained steady at 4.0 deaths per 100,000 live births from 2024 to 2028 according to forecasted data. In 2023, the maternal mortality ratio also stood at 4.0 deaths per 100,000 live births, indicating no year-on-year variation through the forecasted period up to 2028. This stability suggests that the last two years have maintained consistent maternal health outcomes. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is 0% over the last five years, underscoring the absence of significant changes in maternal mortality ratios during this period.
Future trends to watch for include advances in medical technology and healthcare policies that could further reduce maternal mortality, even in already low-mortality countries like Japan. Additionally, monitoring potential impacts from demographic shifts, such as an aging population, and their effects on maternal health services will be essential.
