Belarus's maternal mortality ratio was 1.00 in 2025, ranked 192nd globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1985–2025.
Overview
Belarus's maternal mortality ratio stood at 1.00 in 2025, a rise of +0.00 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.00 by 2025. Belarus ranked 192nd globally.
Belarus has reduced its maternal mortality ratio dramatically over the past four decades, falling from an all‑time peak of 33.00 in 1990 to a trough of 1.00 in 2025, the lowest figure among 192 reporting countries. The World Bank records the latest 2025 value at 1.00, placing Belarus just above Monaco’s 0.60 and below Norway’s 1.60, while Australia records 1.20. This decline reflects sustained investment in obstetric care, expanded prenatal screening, and the integration of evidence‑based clinical protocols that began in the early 1990s and intensified after the turn of the millennium. The improvement coincides with broader health‑system reforms that increased facility‑based deliveries and improved emergency response capacities. While the current level is comparable to high‑income peers, further reductions will depend on maintaining universal access to quality maternal services, addressing rural‑area disparities, and adapting to demographic shifts that may alter demand for obstetric care.
