The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in Viet Nam showed a significant upward trend from 2013 to 2019, with the ratio rising from 98.0 to 134.0 deaths per hundred thousand live births. This increase was highlighted by consistent year-on-year growth, reaching a peak CAGR of 5.81% in 2018. However, post-2019, the MMR began to decline, reversing this trend, and by 2023, the ratio stood at 104.0, reflecting a year-on-year decrease of 5.45% and a negative CAGR of -4.36% over the last five years.

Forecasts indicate a continued decline in MMR, with projected decreases over the next five years, culminating in an MMR of 91.0 by 2028. The forecasted 5-year CAGR from 2024 to 2028 is -1.87%, equating to a 9% reduction in MMR over this period.

Future trends to watch for:

Improvement in healthcare infrastructure and access to maternal care services could accelerate the downward trend in MMR.
Public health initiatives and education campaigns focused on maternal health may further contribute to reducing MMR.
External factors such as pandemics or economic downturns could potentially disrupt this positive trend.
