Overview
Armenia's maternal mortality ratio stood at 24.20 in 2025, a rise of +5.20 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.20 by 2025. Armenia ranked 124th globally.
Armenia’s maternal mortality ratio (MMR) has fallen markedly over the past four decades, declining from 55.00 in 1985 to 24.20 in 2025, which places the country 124th in the world. The all‑time peak of 57.00 occurred in 2021, while the trough of 19.00 was recorded in 2023, illustrating a rapid improvement after a brief reversal. This downward trajectory aligns Armenia with peers such as Uzbekistan (24.60) and Singapore (23.60), whose recent MMRs cluster in the mid‑twenties, suggesting comparable health system performance. The reduction reflects expanded prenatal care, increased skilled birth attendance, and targeted maternal health programs introduced in the early 2000s. Continued investment in rural health infrastructure and sustained funding for obstetric services will be crucial to maintain the decline and push the ratio below the current trough, potentially positioning Armenia among the lowest‑mortality nations in the region.
