The forecast for the maternal mortality ratio in the Netherlands from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline from 3.0 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2024 and 2025 to 2.0 deaths per 100,000 live births from 2026 onwards. The actual data for 2023 indicates a maternal mortality ratio of 3.0, meaning there is a projected 0% change from 2023 to 2024. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2025 is 0%, followed by a -33.33% change from 2025 to 2026, and a stable trend thereafter.

Key trends to watch include:

Continued improvements in maternal healthcare services, potentially contributing to sustained low levels of maternal mortality.
Monitoring of maternal health policies and practices as slight fluctuations could influence future metrics.
Development and implementation of new technologies and medical protocols to further enhance maternal safety.
