Maternal mortality in 2005
Estimates developed by WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and The World Bank
Overview
The 2005 estimates of maternal mortality provide an up-to-date indication of the extent of the maternal mortality problem globally and its evolution since 1990. They strongly indicate a need for both, improved action for maternal mortality reduction and increased efforts for the generation of robust data to provide better estimates in the future.
