The forecast for the Total Maternal Mortality Ratio in the Philippines indicates a steady decline from 2024 through 2028. The ratio is expected to decrease from 107 in 2024 to 99 in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year percentage reduction of approximately 1.87% in 2025, 1.90% in 2026, 1.94% in 2027, and 1.98% in 2028, highlighting a consistent downward trend in maternal mortality rates over these years. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is projected to be around -1.92%.
Future trends to watch for include potential improvements in healthcare access, maternal health programs, and socioeconomic conditions, which could further accelerate the decline in maternal mortality rates. However, variations in healthcare policy and potential socioeconomic challenges may affect these forecasts. Monitoring these variables will be critical in assessing the accuracy and sustainability of these trends.
