Maternal Mortality Rate
Maternal Mortality Rate refers to the number of women who die during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of the termination of pregnancy, regardless of the duration and site of the pregnancy, per 100,000 live births. It is an important indicator of the overall health and well-being of women in a particular region or country. Factors such as access to quality healthcare, skilled birth attendants, and socioeconomic conditions can impact maternal mortality rates. Tracking and monitoring maternal mortality rates can help identify areas for improvement in maternal healthcare services and ultimately save lives.
