Maternal Mortality Estimates by Country 1980-2008

IHME research produced a global assessment of levels and trends in maternal mortality for the years 1980-2008. This dataset provides global, regional, and national level estimates for maternal mortality ratio (MMR - the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births) as well as the number of maternal deaths. Results of the study were published online in The Lancet in April 2010 in "Maternal mortality for 181 countries, 1980-2008: a systematic analysis of progress towards Millennium Development Goal 5."
