The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in India has seen a consistent decline from 154 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2013 to 102 in 2023, indicating substantial progress in healthcare. The year-on-year variations have generally been negative, with notable drops such as -12.34% in 2014 and -11.21% in 2020. The five-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) has also been on a declining trend, with a reduction from -6.97% in 2013 to -2.54% in 2023.
Looking ahead, the forecast indicates a further decrease to 91 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2028, with a forecasted five-year CAGR of -1.67%, translating to an overall reduction of -8.08% by 2028. This suggests a continued but slower decline in MMR.
Future trends to watch for include the implementation of advanced maternal healthcare technologies, government healthcare policies, and local healthcare initiatives aimed at improving maternal health outcomes.
