Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, British Virgin Islands has the highest maternal mortality ratio (national estimate, per 100,000 live births) (415 in 2023) and Turks and Caicos Islands the lowest (0 in 2023).
What this measures
Maternal mortality ratio is the number of women who die from pregnancy-related causes while pregnant or within 42 days of pregnancy termination per 100,000 live births.
Limitations: Maternal mortality ratios are generally of unknown reliability, as are many other cause-specific mortality indicators. The ratios cannot be assumed to provide an exact estimate of maternal mortality. Maternal mortality ratios collected directly from Demographic and Health Surveys are presented in the survey year, but reference time of these maternal mortality ratios is for the seven years preceding the survey.
Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
