The maternal mortality ratio, which is a
measure of the obstetric risk associated
with each pregnancy, is estimated to be
400 per 100 000 live births globally. By
region, it is highest in Africa (830),
followed by Asia (330), Oceania (240),
Latin America and the Caribbean (190),
and the developed countries (20). In
high fertility settings, women face this
risk several times during their lives and
the cumulative lifetime risk of maternal
death may be as high as one in 16,
compared with one in 2 800 in
developed countries. Maternal mortality
is difficult to measure reliably in most
