Between 2013 and 2023, Finland's maternal mortality rate displayed significant year-on-year and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) fluctuations. The rate exhibited both sharp increases and decreases, peaking in 2019 at 10.9 deaths per hundred thousand live births before stabilizing near 4.6 by 2023. The year-on-year variation ranged from wide spikes to steep declines, showcasing significant volatility.
Forecasted rates for 2024 and onward suggest a period of stability, with a projected consistent rate of 4.6 deaths per hundred thousand live births from 2024 to 2028. The forecasted five-year CAGR suggests no growth, implying a stable trend following previous years of fluctuation.
Key future trends to monitor include potential medical advancements in maternal healthcare, socio-economic changes, and policy interventions which could further influence maternal mortality rates. Attention should be paid to emerging health technologies and their integration into maternal health programs in Finland.
