Maternal mortality per 100,000 births
Women who die from pregnancy or childbirth per 100,000 live births. The figures are modelled by UN agencies, because in many countries such deaths are not reliably recorded.
2023: highest value – Nigeria (993 per 100,000 births), lowest – Norway (1 per 100,000 births); 193 countries with data. World (as reported by the source): 197 per 100,000 births.
