Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, Central African Republic has the highest lifetime risk of maternal death (%) (4.24% in 2023) and Belarus the lowest (0.00104% in 2023). The world figure is 0.37% (2023).
What this measures
Life time risk of maternal death is the probability that a 15-year-old female will die eventually from a maternal cause assuming that current levels of fertility and mortality (including maternal mortality) do not change in the future, taking into account competing causes of death.
Limitations: The methodology differs from that used for previous estimates, so data should not be compared historically. Maternal mortality ratios are generally of unknown reliability, as are many other cause-specific mortality indicators. The probability cannot be assumed to provide an exact estimate of risk of maternal death.
Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
