Maternal mortality ratio (1992-2011)

Open date Albania has conducted a research on maternal mortality in Albania. Maternal mortality rate is the number of women who die during pregnancy and childbirth per 100.000 live births. The report is based on World Bank data for the period 1992-2011.

For the period 2007-2011 the maternal mortality rate stands at 31 deaths per hundred thousand births. This indicator has been in decline from 1992 to 1996, recording 44 deaths in one hundred thousand births. However, Albania still stands at more critically. Maternal mortality in Europe is 5-7 mothers per 100 thousand live births while in Albania is 31 per one hundred thousand live births, so five  times higher.

Even compared with the region, Albania has a very negative indicator. It ranks as the country with alarmingly high maternal mortality in the region. In our country (Albania), the mortality of mothers per one hundred thousand births, is two times higher than in Montenegro, about four times higher than in Macedonia and fifteen times higher compared with Greece for the same number of live births.
