The global maternal death rate (lifetime risk) shows significant variability across countries. Belarus has the highest rate at 82.4, while Morocco has the lowest at 0.645. Developed countries like Norway, Japan, and Italy have relatively lower rates, whereas countries in transition such as Belarus and Macedonia have higher rates. Noteworthy variations in the year-on-year data indicate improvements in several countries, such as a 11.13% decrease in Ukraine and a 10.11% decrease in Japan. However, some nations like Greece and the United States saw increases in the maternal death rate by 2.47% and 2.53%, respectively, suggesting area-specific challenges.
Future trends to watch involve ongoing progress in healthcare infrastructure and maternal care initiatives in both developed and developing nations. Regions showing favorable trends, like Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, are likely to continue improving. Conversely, countries experiencing negative trends must address healthcare disparities and strengthen maternal health programs to ensure sustained progress.
