  Many developed countries have successfully brought down MMR to single digits. Italy, Norway, Poland and Belarus have the lowest MMR of two, while it is seven in both Germany and the UK, 10 in Canada and 19 in the US. Most of India’s neighbours — Nepal (186), Bangladesh (173) and Pakistan (140) — have a higher MMR. However, China and Sri Lanka are way ahead with MMRs of 18.3 and 36 respectively.

+New Delhi : The maternal mortality rate in India has declined from 384 per one lakh live births in 2000 to 103 in 2020, whereas global MMR has declined from 339 in 2000 to 223 in 2020, as per the UN Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-Agency Group report. The average annual rate of reduction in global MMR during the 2000-2020 period was 2.07% while India’s MMR has declined by 6.36%, which is higher than the global decline.

		+
		+	India’s maternal mortality ratio (MMR), a key health system indicator, dropped to 113 in the 2016-18 period from 122 in 2015-17, according to the latest data released by the office of the registrar general of India. One of the UN’s sustainable development goals is to reduce MMR, defined as the number of maternal deaths during a given time period per 100,000 live births, to less than 70. India’s MMR used to be about 556 in 1990 and 254 in 2004-06.
		+
		+	Among some of the states which saw an increase in MMR, the most alarming increase was in Chhattisgarh, where it went from 141 in the 2015-17 survey to 159 in the current one. Uttarakhand, too, saw an increase from 89 to 99, Punjab from 122 to 129, and West Bengal from 94 to 98.
		+
		+	''' Kerala reports lowest maternal deaths in India '''
		+
		+	Assam continues to be the state with the highest MMR over the last three sample surveys conducted, followed by UP and MP. Over the same period, Kerala, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, in that order, continue to have the lowest MMR. While Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have been steadily reducing their MMR, Kerala’s MMR went up slightly from 42 in the last survey to 43, though it remained the lowest in the country.
		+	The main causes for maternal mortality are severe bleeding, mostly after childbirth, infection post childbirth, high blood pressure causing seizures or complications during childbirth, and unsafe abortions. Thus, it was believed that these could be addressed if deliveries happened in institutions where trained health personnel would be available, resulting in a huge government push to increase institutional deliveries, which were just 43% in 2004. By 2018, institutional deliveries constituted 83% of all childbirths in India.
		+
		+	While this push seemed to have paid off initially in bringing down MMR substantially, the increase in institutional deliveries in many states is no more showing a corresponding decrease in maternal mortality. In Assam, for instance, institutional deliveries are almost 83%, much higher than say Bihar with just 70% or Jharkhand with just 61.7%. Yet, MMR in Assam is 215, while it is 149 in Bihar and just 71 in Jharkhand. In Karnataka, despite institutional deliveries being as high as 97.6%, its MMR of 92 is higher than that of Haryana (91) or Telangana (63) where institutional deliveries constitute only 86% and 94%, respectively.
		+
		+	Experts have published papers on the poor quality of healthcare offered in many of these institutions, both public and private, towards which women have been pushed — through cash incentives for health workers and pregnant women themselves opting for institutional delivery.

		+	Maternal and child mortality and morbidity are considered key health indicators as they reflect the state of female healthcare. Over the years, the government has taken initiatives to improve these health indicators. India has reduced its maternal mortality by over 69 per cent since 1990, though it still has some catching up to do with better-performing Asian countries. Despite this, India, along with Nigeria, accounted for one-third of the global maternal deaths in 2015.
		+
		+	India ranks 129 among 184 nations on maternal mortality and 145 out of 193 nations on infant mortality, according to the World Bank.
		+
		+	The gap in maternal healthcare between urban and rural areas is often blamed for the overall poor scores and the inequalities are also evident through varying maternal mortality ratios across country.
		+
		+	The health ministry has introduced as well as expanded coverage of various schemes to address these challenges, with its main focus on remote areas. It has also started some new schemes to provide care to women at different stages of pregnancy and increase institutional deliveries to prevent deaths.
		+
		+	"After the launch of the National Rural Health Mission in 2005, significant improvements have taken place in building the health infrastructure in the country," a senior health ministry official said.
		+
		+	The Janani Suraksha Yojna, or the maternity benefit scheme, has brought about a surge in institutional deliveries and financial uptakes in most states. Besides, the Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram focuses on adolescent health and improving nutritional status and "Partnerships and Opportunities to Strengthen and Harmonise Actions for Nutrition (Poshan)" aims at community-based management of malnourished children.
		+
		+	Globally, the annual number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births dropped by 44 per cent between 1990 and 2015 — from 385 to 216. The sub-Saharan African region accounted for an estimated 66 per cent (201,000) of global maternal deaths, followed by southern Asia at 22 per cent (66,000 deaths). In fact, only 5 per cent of the world's countries accounted for 59 per cent of the total maternal deaths globally.
